Dinner Parties

In-home Catering with your own Private Chef, Vancouver, BC

How often have you hosted a dinner party and instead of having fun, were exhausted by the time the last guest left? With our in-home catering service, we can make your next dinner party relaxing and stress free. First we'll meet with you in your home and help you in the selection of your menu. We would also be pleased to suggest wines that will compliment each of your courses. On the day of your party we arrive early at your home with all the necessary ingredients and tools for preparing your menu. While you enjoy your guests, we do all the work. After the last course is served we will quietly clean your kitchen, leaving you no other responsibility than entertaining your guests over coffee and dessert. In-home catering available in Greater Vancouver, BC, including North and West Vancouver, Burnaby, Yaletown, Coal Harbour, New Westminster, South Surrey, White Rock, Aldergrove and Abbotsford.

Four course sit down gourmet dinners range from $99.00 and up per person and include your multi-course meal, personalized menus, freshly baked bread, wine pairing suggestions, coffee and tea with dessert, shopping, meal preparation, serving staff (four hours on parties over 10 persons) and kitchen clean up. Travelling Gourmet can also supply custom flower arrangements, butler service (from the International Guild of Butlers), sommeliers, bartenders, photographers or live music for your occasion. If you have any other special requests, please ask us.

"Thank you so much for the excellent job you did at the dinner party I recently held for my clients. No only was the food a feast for the eyes, it was absolutely delicious. Every guest called the next day to rave about the food in general, and the filet mignon and celeriac specifically. Oh...and the coffee was indeed the best I've ever tasted!. The pace you set for the evening-from hors d'oeuvres through dessert was perfect. Nobody felt rushed when the limo's showed up. Please feel free to use me as a reference."
