Private Dinners & Celebrations
Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, rehearsal dinners, graduations, and dinner parties — at home or at a venue of your choosing.
Restaurant-quality dining without the reservation
Private events are where scale stops being the point. A table of fourteen for an anniversary deserves the same attention as a room of two hundred, and it is often the more interesting menu to cook.
We work in home kitchens and at rented venues alike. For an at-home dinner we bring what the kitchen lacks, cook on site, serve each course, and leave the kitchen cleaner than we found it.
Rehearsal dinners, showers, retirement parties, holiday gatherings, and dinners with no occasion attached all fit here.

Frequently asked
How small an event will you cater?
Small is genuinely fine — intimate dinners are some of our favourite work. Tell us your number and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.
Do you cook in our home?
Yes, in most cases. We work in your kitchen and bring the equipment it does not have. If the space is tight, we prep ahead and finish on site.
Do you provide bar service?
We can add cocktail and bar service, including a bartender for the evening. Mention it early so it is priced into the proposal.
Do we have to clean up afterward?
No. Cleanup is part of the service. We leave the kitchen as we found it, or better.
Have something to celebrate?
Tell us the occasion and we will design a menu for it.
