Friday nights at Catch Beach Club define the vibrant start to Phuket’s weekend nightlife. The legendary Friday Night BBQ Buffet is a weekly culinary event that transforms the beachside venue into a paradise of flavours, sights and sounds. Just after the sun sets, the inviting aroma of BBQ flames filled with rich smoky scents beckon diners to an evening of indulgence and entertainment.
Catch Beach Club provides the perfect natural backdrop of turquoise waves and picturesque white, sandy shores. Here, Friday nights start with a more laid-back vibe, with tunes playing subtly in the background as people start to arrive from 7pm. On arrival you are greeted by the smell of the ocean, the sound of rolling waves and the feel of a gentle sea breeze as you are welcomed to your table.
Begin your evening with a stroll along the extensive buffet, live stations and BBQ area that literally stretch the entire length of the club. The live salad stations are a welcome burst of colour and freshness, featuring chefs who expertly combine exotic fruits with refreshing salads and cold plates. The popular Caesar salad should not be missed, where guests can enjoy watching their personal dish being prepared inside a Parmesan wheel; rich with aged cheese that imparts a deep, nutty flavour into the salad.
The seafood on ice is a popular area, and one which lends itself to the stunning visual appeal. Imagine shellfish including juicy prawns, rock lobsters and crabs piled gracefully and high on the crushed ice. Add a little luxury to your plate with some oysters, freshly shucked as you order them at the live station. The sushi station rolls out fresh, delectable sushi and delicately sliced sashimi to order, while the wood fired pizza oven produces individually sized pizzas, including a truffle variety that is simply divine.
The centrepiece of the Friday Night BBQ Buffet is, of course, the actual BBQ stations. Here, only the highest quality produce is used and is grilled to perfection. Enjoy local squid, succulent prawns, rock lobster, fresh fish and prime cuts of steak cooked to your personal preference. The seafood selection is a specific highlight, perfectly complementing the seaside setting. The fragrance of seafood cooking mingles with the salty sea air, adding to the beachside experience. Complement these tantalising choices with an array of sides, vegetable accompaniments and dipping sauces to suit all tastes.
For those with a taste for more of a traditional carvery, this selection is just for you. With different options available each week, you might find slow-cooked lamb leg, roasted duck and Thai roast chicken, all served with perfectly paired vegetables and side dishes. Each week also brings new pasta and risotto dishes, made to order and bursting with seasonal and regional flavours.
If you have any room left, the dessert area awaits, with a vast array of sweet treats including the decadence of a flowing chocolate fountain, surrounded by fresh berries and treats just waiting to be dipped. Indulge in mini cakes, sweet spoons, macarons and traditional Thai desserts like mango with sticky rice, to name just a few; all freshly prepared to satisfy a sweet tooth.
As the night progresses, so does the entertainment. This begins at around 9pm with a spectacular fire show right on the beach. The music shifts, the beach lights up, and performers captivate the dining audience with their fiery dance, perfect for Instagram-worthy shots. The grand finale comes as the letters “CATCH” illuminate amidst a shower of fireworks, signalling the start of the real party and night beach revelry.
As the buffet comes to a close, guests gravitate to the white-washed decking, for a chance to dance beneath the starlit sky. The sultry melodies of the saxophonist intertwine with pulsating DJ beats, whilst the captivating Catch dancers create an irresistible invitation to dance the night away.
Catch Beach Club’s Friday Night BBQ Buffet is more than just a meal; it is a complete experience that captures the essence of the ultimate weekend. From 7pm to 11pm every Friday, join to be part of a night full of culinary delights, captivating performances and vibrant DJ beats.
