Catering a seder

[Anonymous]

We are considering having a catered seder in April for about 75 people in Somerset. We have the space rented and a tent. We did this a few years ago, and we used Ridgewells, which was good, but not great. Does anyone have any recommendations for a kosher-style caterer who could handle this?

“Kosher-style?”

NP here,

We're an interfaith family and don't keep a kosher kitchen, so nothing we prepare is kosher, but if we do a seder or other holiday meal, we serve menus that mirror those our ancestors who did keep kosher might have served, meaning we don't serve either milk or meat, but not both, no pork or shellfish, no cuts from the hindquarters of beef. At Passover, we clean and don't serve hametz in the house, but if my kids go to a birthday with pizza, that's fine. We also include traditional recipes from our family, that go back to when they kept kosher. It's a way of letting our kids experience tradition.

I would call that "kosher style".

The equinox link above includes shrimp and grits on at least one menu. To me, that means they likely don't have a kosher kitchen. But that doesn't mean they can't put together a treyf but kosher-style menu for the holiday. (Note: I am only going on the menu, I have never been).

OP - Just in case you need the info for next year, I've heard good things about the company from friends who've used them.

I have tasted a few foods from their on-site takeout and like them.
