Get Catered Away!
The spring brings new adventures and lots of celebrations as the days get longer, graduations are on the horizon, and weddings beckon. Here are just a few of our favorite folks* who can help you take your party to the next level.
Fig & Brie Charcuterie and Catering
Sandra Mann out of Willits creates signature “grazing tables” and charcuterie boards that are bountiful works of edible art. The highlight: guests are delighted by a rustic rack of golden honeycomb that drizzles upon fresh fruit, cheeses, cured meats, and other delights.

Black Dog Farm Catering
Along with co-owner and chef Jason Pluck, head chef Caroline Radice looks to her background in farming to craft stunning dishes that are piled high with edible blooms and delectable produce from the garden. Black Dog Farm Catering provides meals for weddings and parties all along the Mendocino coast and throughout the county, often playing a leading role at the Good Farm Fund events.

Ellery Clark Catering & Produce
The swoon-worthy photographs from Ellery Clark Catering—showcasing locally sourced roasted vegetables, pomegranate fig chicken with saffron yogurt and pistachio dukka, or smoky ribs cooked to perfection—will make your mouth water. Ellery has an extensive garden in Potter Valley which he uses to make his own quince membrillo and to harvest peaches from his abundant trees.

Mendough’s Seasonal Catering & Woodfired Pizza
Olan and Lia Cox transport their mobile pizza oven around the county, serving perfectly authentic, chewy, blistered pizza along with other delicacies. They specialize in Farm to Table meals using locally sourced produce at the peak of ripeness. Their efforts often support local nonprofits working in biodynamic and organic agriculture.

*Mea culpa if we did not list your favorite–Mendocino County is blessed with a bounty of great caterers!
Pilón Kitchen
Since their start in a Venezuelan food truck, Pilón Kitchen has rapidly expanded their offerings to include wedding planning and full catering. Sauli Molina and Erick Diaz left careers in optometry when they moved to the U.S., and now cook up plates of Pabellón Criollo—perfectly seasoned shredded beef, with arepas (a fluffy patty made of maize and sometimes stuffed with cheese), as well as rice and black beans using a special family recipe. You may become obsessed with the empanadas, served with piquant bright green chimichurri sauce! PilonKitchenVF.com | Insta: @pilon_kitchen

Uneda Eat
Rob & Jill Hunter have been based in Point Arena on the Mendocino Coast for over 20 years. Their fresh and stylish fare can be found at weddings, parties, and other festive occasions throughout Mendocino and Sonoma counties.
