About
The Rode Family has proudly been serving Southern New Jersey and beyond for over 130 years. Whether it's our popular BBQ from Rode's Catering in the summer, a delicious meal at our restaurant and bar, Rode's Fireside, or a casual affair in our historic barn, we are proud to serve our growing South Jersey community.
Rode's Barn, located conveniently behind Rode's Fireside in Swedesboro, NJ, dates back to 1940 and was built by the Rode family for their poultry wholesale business. Today, the casual and rustic barn is used for any type of event including casual weddings, holiday parties, baby and bridal showers, birthday parties, engagement parties, music events, photoshoots, movie production and more! Please inquire about your event and we would be happy to try to accommodate your needs.

*Ceremonies on site if permitted. Please note that due to the size of the barn and maximum occupancy, all ceremonies held on site are done while guests are seated at their dinner tables. Unfortunately, the size of the barn does not allow for chairs to be separate from tables if guest count exceeds 50 guests.

We will do our best to respond in a timely manner based on the order emails are received as well as importance******* Thank you!! - The Rode Family
