The Chefs Table

Full Service Catering
Full-Service Catering is available for events that require staff, equipment rentals (tables, chairs, linens, tableware, etc) and/or bar service. We can also assist with tenting, floral and decor recommendations along with other auxiliary services as needed. As caterers, our job is to make entertaining as stress-free as possible so that you can enjoy your event! We realize that events come in all sizes and budgets and are happy to supply suggestions and recommendations for your financial parameters.

Self-Service Catering
Self-Service Catering provides a budget friendly option for those who only require help with food for their event. Our Parties to Go Menu has been designed with items that can be served room temperature or will easily reheat using the provided instructions. All items come packaged on high quality plastic platters or in oven safe reheating pans. Reheating instructions are provided. Please note that some items may not be available on certain dates so we ask that all orders be placed online to view the most current menu. Orders may be placed online

Generally, no. Most foods do not travel well when heated. If you are hosting an event where it will be difficult for you to heat the food, we suggest speaking with our event planners for options. We offer a variety of items that can be served room temperature, or we can suggest local staffing options that can assist.

• First Steps: The first step is to check the availability of your date. When you call, email or fill out our event form to inquire, we will ask you for the date, type of event, venue, level of service needed and approximate guest count. We will then verify that we have the necessary staffing resources to successfully execute your event. We understand that all of these details are just a preliminary start and can be adjusted throughout the planning process.
• Planning Process: Once some basic details are in place, your planner will work with you to design a preliminary proposal which includes pricing and a breakdown of menu and beverage selections, appropriate staffing levels and any necessary equipment rentals.

A required retainer amount will be indicated on the proposal to secure the date. Changes may be made to the menu up until 4 weeks prior to the event date and final guest counts will be due approximately 3 weeks before the event date.

In the two weeks leading up to your event, our planners will confirm final details with you, including the delivery and pick-up of any rental items.

We wish there was an easy answer to this question! The beauty of off-site catering is that it allows you to customize your event. However, this makes it very difficult to offer standard packages that are typical of function halls. The degree of complexity of logistics and existing available equipment will have a substantial impact on costs. For example, a plated dinner from a venue with a fully operational catering kitchen is going to be less in terms of both labor and equipment than a tented event requiring the creation of a field kitchen. If you have a target budget in mind, we encourage you to share this with your planner as early as possible in the process so that we can guide you to choices that will meet your budget and needs.
