Bahama Chow

Chowrific Birthdays

We bring the truck.
You bring the birthday.

Lil' Shiny pulls up at your office, your yard, or your beach spot. Frozen daiquiris and sky juice, Bahamian food cooked in front of your guests, and a cake with the name on it. You do nothing but show up.

Packages

Pick your truck.

Every package covers the truck, crew, setup and cleanup up to its guest minimum, then charges per extra guest.

Graduations, Father's Day, Labour Day and Independence Day all work the same way — same truck, same packages, we just put the right name on the cake.

Seasonal & more

Summer's a little different.

Bahamian crawfish season runs 1 August to 31 March. From 1 April to 31 July, lobster's off the menu — The Big Chow becomes The Big Chow: Fish Fry instead, fried whole snapper and cracked grouper fingers standing in for the lobster tier. It's $200 cheaper, not a consolation prize.

How booking works

Four steps, no stress.

1

Tell us the date

Date, address, rough headcount, whether you want alcohol; we reply the same day.

2

Hold it with a deposit

Half up front books the date, balance due two days before.

3

Lock the menu

A week out we confirm menu, cake design, and the name on it.

4

We pull up

We arrive an hour early, set up, serve, sing, and leave the spot cleaner than we found it.

Let's do this

Tell us about the party.

If filled in, we'll flag this as a corporate booking.

We put this name on the cake.

Dietary needs and allergies are especially helpful here.
