Small Events and Catering

We specialize in small catered events, usually less than 30 people. Our food is based on local seasonal products, globally inspired and (we are told) very tasty. Perfect for an intimate gathering of friends and family.

For farmhouse dinners we can offer multi-course plated menus that reflect the best the region has to offer. These dinners start at $150/person (minimum 10 guests – 30 maximum). We can also supplement with culinary treats like truffles ($50/person extra charge will apply – we source truffles from the Cowichan Valley, Italy, France and Oregon in season). Our dinners use only the finest local ingredients including pasture-raised meats and sustainably harvested local seafood. For all private parties we add a gratuity of 15% to the final bill.

Dates are subject to limited availability, please email to discuss.

To get started :

  • Email us with the particulars of your event or occasion.
  • We require a deposit to secure the date and full payment at least 30 days before the event (and before any detailed planning starts).
  • A special menu is created for you based on your needs. Each menu is unique to the event and features seasonally available products.
  • We require 1 weeks notice to cancel any private event for a full refund.
