Teams near Ridgewood frequently go for an outdoor lunch or summer party. Let us know about the site. You will know exactly what’s included before you book: menu, staff, crockery and anything else you choose.

Other catering in Ridgewood
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.

For a Christmas party in Ridgewood, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
