The Menus

Food That Tastes Like the Season Feels

Our winter menus are built around the table everyone remembers: hand-carved roasts, brown-butter sides, cranberry that never saw a can, and desserts that arrive looking like the centerpiece.

Stations do the entertaining — a raclette wheel melting over roasted potatoes, a cocoa bar with the works, mulled wine perfuming the room. It's nostalgia, catered professionally.

  • Hand-carved roast stations
  • Raclette, cocoa, and mulled-wine bars
  • Vegetarian mains that hold their own
  • Desserts styled like centerpieces

From Our Hosts

Seasons We've Served

Our office party went from obligation to the event people ask about in July. The carving station, the cocoa bar, the little rosemary trees on the dessert table — every detail said someone cared.
Meredith L.Office manager, Back Bay
They catered Thanksgiving for nineteen of us so I could actually sit at my own table. The gravy alone was worth the booking. My mother-in-law asked for the recipe — they sent it.
Daniel C.Thanksgiving, Brookline
New Year's Eve for sixty in our Seaport loft — passed bites until eleven, champagne service at midnight, gone by one. Absolute professionals.

Host Questions

Holiday Catering, Answered

How early should we book a December party?

Prime December Fridays and Saturdays are gone by Halloween; midweek dates hold until mid-November. For Thanksgiving, two weeks' notice is usually safe. If you're reading this in December — call anyway, cancellations happen.

What does holiday catering cost?

Office parties run $48-85 per guest depending on stations and bar; private holiday dinners from $38 per guest delivered or $65 with staff. Every quote is one clear number — no December surcharges hiding in the fine print.

Do you provide decorations?

Festive table styling — linens, candles, greenery, station décor — is included. Full room décor (trees, lighting, installations) we coordinate with partner stylists at cost.

Can you cater in our office?

Constantly. We've turned conference rooms, lobbies, and warehouse floors into winter wonderlands. All we need is an outlet and 90 minutes.

What about dietary restrictions?

Vegetarian and vegan mains that aren't sad risotto, gluten-free desserts that taste like dessert, and clear labels on everything — every guest gets a full plate of the season.

Do you do New Year's Eve?

It's our favorite shift of the year. Late-service menus, champagne at midnight, and crews who genuinely want to be at the party. Book by early December.
