Oxtail catering
Oxtails that headline the whole event.
Slow-braised, fall-off-the-bone oxtails are the Island Boy signature — served as plates, bowls, or catering trays with rice and peas soaking up the gravy.

How it works.
Why guests remember it
Oxtails are the dish people line up twice for. If you want one item that makes the event feel like a real Caribbean spread, this is it.
What to send
Date, address, guest count, and whether you want truck service, trays, or both. Oxtails sell out — earlier is better.
What lands on the table.
Pair oxtails with rice and peas, yellow rice, cabbage, candied yams, mac and cheese, and cornbread — plus wings or chopped chicken for mixed crowds.

Send the details
Date, address, guest count, service window, and menu direction — through the form, or by call or text at 980-785-8372.
The team reviews fit
Event fit, travel, timing, and menu get checked before anything is quoted — no surprises on either side.
Lock the date
Once the window is confirmed, the truck rolls or the trays land — hot, on time, and portioned for your crowd.
Good to know: Oxtails take real braise time, so confirmed guest counts a few days ahead keep portions right and the gravy generous.
Quick answers.
How are oxtail trays portioned?
Half and full trays. Share your guest count and the team sizes trays and sides so plates come out right.
Is the gravy spicy?
Rich and savory more than hot. If your crowd wants extra heat, say so in the inquiry.
Can I mix oxtails with other mains?
Yes — most events pair oxtails with wings or chopped chicken so every kind of eater is covered.
