We were honored to cater Pat's backyard clambake in Coventry, RI.

What was on the menu?

We started with New England Clam Chowder, followed by steamed clams and mussels.

The main course was Lobsters, Steak, and Veggie burgers along with corn on the cob and red bliss potatoes with onions. 

Watermelon for dessert.

We'd love to help you decide upon what menu might work for your next event?

There’s something about starry summer nights, bonfires and acres of farmland that really sets the scene for a dreamy New England wedding. So when a venue encompasses all of those things – and then some – we’re sold. 

Geer Tree Farm is the epitome of the perfect romantic farm wedding destination. Nestled away in Griswold, CT on 140 acres of private farmland, this New England gem is one of our favorite venues to work with throughout the year! 

Recently, we had the honor of catering a beautiful July wedding for 160+ guests on the farm. The favors and ambience matched the outdoorsy theme, the sun was shining bright for the couple’s “I Do’s” and the menu was out of this world if we do say so ourselves. 

Take a peek at the couple’s elaborate menu – with everything from Chicken & Pineapple Skewers and New England Clam Chowder shooters to a Baked Potato Station and our famous cornbread – for some delicious farm wedding inspiration!
