Full Service Events

Cooking Fools provides full service catering for your event - from menu planning and presentation, to staffing and equipment rentals.

Whether it’s a cocktail reception, buffet, seated dinner or an outdoor picnic, we will create an event that everyone will remember.

Our food is fresh and healthy. Our presentation is attractive, minimal and concise. We are always ready to design something original and unique for you. This keeps us creative and makes your event more special.

Our staff is young, hip, friendly and doesn’t look like the hired help. We are the perfect balance of approachably casual and professional - ideal for the kind of event you want to host, and for making your guests comfortable.

Please call or email us to start planning your next event.

Pick-up & Delivery Menu

Hosting a party or get together at your place? Don’t have enough time to make some or all of the food, and still want to serve your guests a quality, freshly prepared menu?

Order from our Pick up & Delivery Catering Menu and then either come by our store to pick up your order, or let us do the driving and bring your order right to your door.

Didn’t find exactly what you want on our menu? Does Grandpa Frank hate onions or is your boss lactose intolerant? Contact us for a customized menu to fit your needs.

We can supply you with service-ware or any necessary equipment to expertly host your party. We’re also happy to share tips on how to finish and serve any dish.
