Inspirational Menus

Just a taste of what Food Works Craft Catering has to offer

Family Style

An interactive and fun alternative to a traditional buffet set-up. A multi course meal service with communal platters/bowls/boards for each of your guest tables.

 

This dining style encourages interaction and for your guests to serve themselves & each other within their group – just like at home around the family dinner table.

We will customize a cohesive menu for your event which will include fresh baked breads, seasonal salads, side selections, main protein options & dessert.
