The experience

Where Tradition
Meets Fire

In southern Brazil, churrasco isn't a menu item — it's how families spend an afternoon. Meat goes on the skewer hours before anyone eats, salted with nothing but coarse salt, and turned slowly over wood embers.

That's exactly how we cook at your event. No chafing dishes, no shortcuts. Guests watch the fire, smell the smoke, and get their picanha carved straight onto the plate — still resting, still juicy.

The Man
Behind The Fire

Renato Bermann grew up around the grills of southern Brazil, where the person at the fire is the person everyone trusts with the day.

He brought that tradition to Utah and built Pampa's Catering around it: real wood, real cuts, and a churrasqueiro in hat and kerchief carving at your tables. Renato personally runs every event he books — from a 25-guest backyard in Provo to a 400-guest wedding in Park City.

He works with couples, planners and companies across the state, and he still answers his own messages. If you book Pampa's, Renato is the one standing at your fire.

What Hosts Say

Our wedding guests are still talking about the picanha. Renato and his team were professional, on time, and the tableside service made the whole night feel special.

Wedding · Park City

We hired Pampa's for our company summer party. 180 people, zero stress. Best catering decision we've made in years.

Finally a real churrasco in Utah. Tastes like home. The farofa and vinaigrette were perfect.

What's included in the price?

Meats, sides, grilling equipment, fuel, setup, service and clean up. Rentals like tables and linens can be arranged on request.

Do you handle dietary needs?
