Deerholme Farm has catered many special events and occasions. We offer unique food made with excellent local ingredients and prepared by professional staff.
Small Events and Catering
We specialize in small catered events, usually less than 100 people. Our food is based on local seasonal products, globally inspired and very tasty.
Offsite, our prices generally start at $75/person for a catered buffet for 50-100 guests. For a special dinner or celebration we offer the dining room at the farm (maximum 30 guests). We have catered many weddings here in the valley and would be happy to discuss your situation and budget. We also offer advise on venues, rentals and other services you may require.
For farmhouse dinners we can offer multi-course plated menus that reflect the best cuisine the region has to offer. These dinners start at $125/person (minimum 8 guests – 30 maximum). We can also supplement with culinary treats like truffles ($25/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, so call or email to discuss. It is best to call us to discuss details.
We are willing to discuss other locations (such as private homes) so call us for more details. We must have a kitchen facility with can take over and work with – so we will not entertain events without this option.
To get started :
- Call us with the particulars of your event or occasion (250) 748-7450
- We then build a special menu for you based on your budget and needs. Each menu is unique to the event and seasonally available products.
- We offer assistance in event planning, rentals and bar service
- We require a $1000 deposit to secure the date and a payment of 50% 1 month before the day, balance is due on the day of the event.
