Carousel Catering Menu
Full-Service Catering / Corporate Image Entertaining / Unique Locations
Quality and creativity are the hallmarks of the food prepared for your guests by Carousel Catering. We will work closely with you to achieve a menu that is exceptional in imagination, execution, and presentation.
While we are known for signature dishes, we are constantly adding new items to our menus. Your guests will be wowed by the array of hors d’oeuvres passed by our trained service staff; amazed by salads that delight visually; entrees that remind your guests of the best five-star restaurant; and desserts that end an incredible meal on a high note.
We will create any menu that you desire and accommodate any theme: Moroccan Feast, 1950’s-Sock Hop, New York Supper Club, Ladies Luncheon, Cirque, Hurray for Hollywood, or Rhapsody in Blue. The only limit is your – and our – imagination!
We can accommodate Gluten-Free, Vegan, and Vegetarian menu items as well as Beef, Chicken, Pork, Lamb, and Fish dishes.
In addition, we can create Sweet and Savory Parfaits and comfort style foods in smaller portions. These “two-to-three” bite meals allow guests to indulge without overindulging, and provide much more diversity in food and presentation.
