OUR SERVICES
We offer a wide variety of personal chef, catering and event services. In short, each meal and occasion are tailored specifically to your needs. To get you started, below is a list of our most popular event styles. For more information on brunches, lunches and cocktail parties please contact us.
The Sit-Down Plated Dinner:
Our favorite and most popular option. The evening begins with a variety of appetizers passed around during the cocktail hour while your guests settle in and mingle. We then seat everyone for a beautiful 3-5 course artfully plated meal. We can provide a cohesive place setting including floral arrangements if you would like, or use your in-home settings. Wine-pairings or wine pairing suggestions available upon request. The meal starts with a soup or amuse bouche which is followed by a salad, a main course and finally dessert. This dinner is best for groups of 12 or less, though larger parties can happily be accommodated. We offer this option prix fixe. Depending on the size of your group, servers and a sous chef will be necessary. This is added on top of the fixed price, as are any additional services such as wine pairings, flowers, etc.
Family Style Dinner:
This option is best for a more intimate, casual dinner setting or larger parties. We start the evening with passed or stationary appetizers during the cocktail hour before seating you for dinner. Place settings, wine pairings, and flowers are available for this style of dinner as well. With your help we come up with a cohesive variety of dishes that are served on beautiful platters that can be placed on the table room permitting, or simply passed around. Traditionally this dinner includes a salad, one or two main course options such as a fish and a chicken or beef dish, (vegetarian and vegan options available as well), then one or two sides to accompany. Dessert is served after dinner has been cleared. Coffee service available with dessert at extra cost. The price of this dinner is based upon the menu you choose and number of guests.
Buffet:
This option is similar to family style but better suited for larger parties and smaller spaces or tables. We start the evening as we always do with seasonal appetizers during the cocktail hour while we prepare the buffet. After an hour or so we announce dinner and have your guests line up to serve themselves. After dinner plates have been cleared we move on to dessert. Wine pairing suggestions, coffee service and floral arrangements are also available for this style of dinner. For larger parties we put you in touch with a rental company for the table setting. Pricing of buffet dinners is based upon the menu you choose, number of guests etc. Servers and a sous chef are usually necessary for this option depending on the size.
Deliver:
Drop off dinners are available as well if you would prefer to just not have to cook! This option is similar to family style dinners but is delivered to you in recyclable containers or on platters to be picked up later. Price tailored to your menu, location and quantity.
Whether you're hosting a small dinner party, celebrating a special occasion or just need a private chef, H.R. Foodcraft is ready to create you an unforgettable meal.
