Holiday Dinner Catering in Wheat Ridge

A proper holiday dinner for your group, cooked from scratch and put out buffet style. Ham, green chili, and the sides that go with them.

Booking now for December. Dates go fast once the calendar fills.

The dinner

One menu, built to feed a room. Everything is made in our Wheat Ridge kitchen the day of your dinner and set out on the buffet hot. No reheated trays, no steam-table food sitting since morning.

The centerpiece
Glazed Bone-In Ham
Scored, glazed, and roasted whole, then carved for the buffet. Sliced thick enough to actually eat rather than shaved into ribbons.
The house stamp
Colorado Pork Green Chili
Western Slope pork braised with flame-roasted Pueblo chilies and ripe tomatoes. It goes on the ham, on the potatoes, or in a bowl on its own. This is on every holiday table we cook and it is the thing people remember.
The side
Scalloped Potatoes
Sliced thin, baked in cream until the top sets and the edges catch. Made in hotel pans so it holds on a buffet without turning to paste.
To start
Light Appetizers
Something to pick at while people arrive and find seats. Kept deliberately light so nobody fills up before the ham comes out.
Optional
Second Protein Confirm
[SECOND PROTEIN - name it and say who it is for, for example a turkey breast or a vegetarian main. Delete this row if you are running ham only.]
Dessert
By request Confirm
[DESSERT - most groups bring their own, so this is off the menu by default. If you want to offer coffee cake or a scone tray as an add-on, say so and name the price.]

Dietary needs are workable with 48 hours' notice. Green chili ships in its own pan, never poured over anything in advance.

How a holiday dinner runs

Tell us the date and the headcount
Send the form below with your date, how many people, and where you want it. We come back within two hours with what it costs and what we need from you.
We lock the date with a deposit
[DEPOSIT - say how much, flat or a percentage, and whether it is refundable. December dates are first come, first served.]
We cook and set the buffet
Food is made the day of and brought out hot. We set the line and put the food out. Setup of the room, service through the night, and cleanup are yours unless you ask us to quote them.

That price assumes buffet service with your people handling the room. Plated service, staff on site through the evening, chafers and rentals, or delivery outside Wheat Ridge, Denver, Arvada, Golden, Lakewood and Edgewater all change the number. Ask and we will quote it straight.
