Menus
To place an order, contact our catering office between 8:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday at 434-395-2523. Whenever possible, all catering orders should be placed 7 business days prior to your event. While we make every effort to accommodate last minute orders, we cannot guarantee your first choice selections can be fulfilled.
Premier Menu
The Premier Menu encompasses a full range of exceptional full-service options that emphasize variety and excellence and value. These selections guarantee a true "catered" experience where our staff actively ensures true service excellence.
Drop Off Menu
The Drop Off Menu provides a focused set of high-quality catering selections that are perfect for your more casual/drop off needs. Although these items arrive with the same dedicated service and culinary excellence you have come to expect, they provide enhanced value in that you can simply enjoy your event and dispose of all products once your guests have finished - no clean up needed!
Special Dietary Menus
We believe everyone deserves to enjoy delicious food, tailored to their dietary needs. Whether it's gluten-free, vegan, or any other specification, we've got you covered. Speak with our coordinator to create a custom menu to fit your needs.
