Menus
While each catering operation has their own menu, one thing is guaranteed: high quality and seasonal items remain at the forefront. We proudly partner with local farms, including Stanford’s own O’Donohue Family Stanford Educational Farm, to keep our menus inspired, sustainable and most importantly, delicious. All menus are customizable. Please contact your specific catering operation for help or to place an order.
