Menus
WE HAVE BUILT OUT MENU OPTIONS TO FIT YOUR BUDGET AND TIMELINE.
MAYBE YOU WANT TO ENGAGE YOUR TEAM BY SHAKING COCKTAILS WITH A BARTENDER AND COOKING ALONG WITH A CHEF. MAYBE YOU WANT EVERYONE TO TAKE IT EASY AND NOT HAVE TO COOK AT ALL, JUST ENJOY DELICIOUS, NOURISHING FOOD. MAYBE YOU WANT TO COMMEMORATE A SPECIAL OCCASION WITH FAMILY AND A SPECIAL MEAL.
BELOW IS A LIST OF MENUS WE HAVE DESIGNED AND PRICED. HAVE THEM PREPARED AND READY FOR PICKUP OR SHIPPED TO YOUR DOORS. ADD ON AN INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION OR DEMONSTRATION WITH ONE OF OUR CHEFS, SOMMELIERS OR BARTENDERS TO ANY OF THESE MENUS.
No pots or pans necessary. These menus come pre-plated in disposable containers. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave (if necessary) and serve. Perfect for your office party, or for when you just don’t want to do the dishes!
These menus are designed to be eaten at home and will require simple cooking or reheating and plating. Cook and plate like a chef, made easy.
These menus require you to get in the kitchen! We provide all of the ingredients, you do the cooking. Add on one of our chefs to join your group and teach you tricks along the way.
These menus are delivered hot and ready to eat directly to your workplace. Delivery limited to one location within 10km of Richmond Station.
In Ontario, we’re not used to thinking about getting our beer, wine and cocktails delivered to our door. But recent changes to the rules now allow us to send any and all the drinks that match your menu and budget.
IF YOU WANT TO BUILD AN EVENT WITH A DIFFERENT MENU, WE WANT TO DO THAT WITH YOU.
