outdoor caterer

Sandbar · 03-20-2011, 09:26 AM

Does anyone know of a local caterer that can accomodate an outdoor party in Winnisquam area for about 90 guests in July? we are thinking of either barbeque or Italian food.

Also we will probably need to rent a tent approx. 30' X 40' if anyone has any suggestions.

thanks

WolfeCity Brick oven pizza used to have a portable oven, Barbara also does other food but I'm not sure what kind. Lobsters I guess.

Several years ago I used Hart's Turkey Farm for a combination lobster/steak outdoor party for about 50 people, complete with tent. It was just great. Their catering representative came to my house to get the lay of the land and develope a menu, and I didn't have to provide a thing. (Now, let's get one thing straight - it wasn't cheap, but there was no evidence of the party when they left, except for some extra food in my refrigerators. I think they are at least worth a call.

KC'S Ribshack is really good.

It's all been said. I've seen Curt's, Hart's, Contigini's, and Mame's. No particular order. They each have their style; if you have not, go eat in their restaurants, but unfortunately you can't with Curt's. The Martha raved about Curt's in her Weddings Book.
I'm told that Canoe/O's is catering; very good food.

Jim does a great job! I have been to many outdoor functions including the Welch Island Assoc. clambake. Contigiani's did that for several years. Also attended a lakeside wedding reception for 150 last year. Food was excellent and the best part was the hot items were hot and cold items cold. Difficult sometimes when the weater is 80+ and you don't have a kitchen to work with.

Good luck!

Harts is tough to beat. Great food, service and quality for price. The common Man also does spectacular catering, but they are somewhat expensive

These guys were great and the prices reasonable. They did my wedding reception outside at my parents' place last fall.

They can do BBQ, Itallian, Clambakes, Dogs and Burgers, etc.
