Features rebranding to Chris’ Barbeque and Country Style Catering; Owner thanks customers

After owning Features of Stratford for 28 years, Chris Haynes is ready for a new chapter in catering.

Haynes sold the restaurant where Features served many customers grabbing breakfast and lunch over the years and will be rebranding Features Barbeque and Country Style Catering to Chris’ Barbeque and Country Style Catering. Haynes said that he is looking to move in a new direction after developing a passion for smoking meats and recognizing it was time to close the Features chapter.

“I love it, but I just needed a change. I got into smoking about three years ago and I really enjoy doing that and I just want to move forward with that now, a new chapter in my life,” he said.

Haynes is also passionate about entertaining the large crowd that comes with catering events and festivals. Recently, Chris’ Barbeque and Country Style Catering was part of Rock the Muse.

"I really enjoy cooking for large amounts of people. It's something new, something different and I'm fairly good at it, so it's where I see myself going in the future,” he said.

He is also grateful for all the support from his customers during his time owning Features of Stratford.

"Thank you to my loyal customers that I've had over the years, my loyal staff,” Haynes said. “I'm sure I'll see everybody here and there in the future at different events and festivals."
