Casual Catering Menu
Appetizers, sandwiches, hot trays, pizza, sides and desserts for parties, picnics and team lunches. Order by the tray and mix freely.
Laid-back food for real parties
Backyard birthdays, beach days, open houses and office celebrations. This sample menu is a starting point: pick the dishes you like and we size the trays to your guest count. Every dish can be adjusted for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free guests, and we label each tray so people know what they are eating.

Common questions
What size parties is the casual menu for?
Anything from a backyard birthday for twenty to a company picnic. Trays are sized in halves and fulls, so we scale them to your headcount. See private party catering.
Can we mix dishes from different sections?
Yes. Most orders do: a couple of appetizers, two entrées, sides and a dessert platter. Pick what you like and we will balance the quantities.
Do you cater beach and park parties?
Yes. Tell us the location and access, and we pack trays and supplies so they work outdoors. See event catering.
Are there vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a vegetarian and vegan section, plenty of meat-free sides and salads, and we adjust other dishes on request. See special diets catering.
How do I get a quote?
We quote every order for its headcount, menu and location. Ask for a quote with your date and guest count.
