Beans & Barley has done catering for years, and we're not keeping it a secret any more! It's like bringing our talented crew into your kitchen, but without the dirty pots and pans. We can cater to almost any need, from a breakfast meeting to a wedding for 200, but most customers rely on our "Pickup Catering" menu. You select from our varied menu (see below), order two days ahead, and pick everything up all ready to serve. Trays are beautifully arranged, salad bowls garnished and ready, baking pans ready to heat & serve.  Fee based delivery is available on orders over $100

Planning a really special event? Our Full Service Catering can include delivery, setup, and service, as well as menu and rental consultation. Our repertoire of time-tested recipes will please vegetarians, non-vegetarians, and vegans —and that includes the wedding cake! Call Beans & Barley, or e-mail us at — beanscater@beansandbarley.com. NOTE: please do NOT fax or email orders!
