Thank you for your interest in our catering services. We opened our doors in Swarthmore in August of 1989. Theresa has had experience since 1978 working as the catering director for Pace One Catering. Scott has worked in the hospitality industry in Pittsburgh since 1980.

 

We decided to join forces and recipes to provide home-made comfort food to our daily clients and to those celebrating a special event. We have been honored to share our menu with so many over all these years.

 

This menu represents 30 years of our client’s favorites. We are devoted to making each “occasion” special. Have a favorite you don’t see, let us know. If there are any diet restrictions, we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
