Large party to feed? We’ve got two options for you.
1) Gatherings Menu - The Gatherings Menu (below) is a limited menu with pickup or drop off only (designed for groups of 10-30 guests such as office parties and in-home events).
2) Full Service Catering Menu - The Full Service Catering Menu is a select menu, requires a per person charge, and involves delivery, setup and service of your order (designed for large orders that require full service such as weddings).
The Gatherings Menu has something for everyone!
You can choose to pick-up your order or have it dropped off to you (for an additional fee based on your proximity to our Portland, Maine location). Service is not included.
