Dreamy farm-to-table dinners catered at your home or rental

Experienced year-round and local Nantucket private chefs, Kaity and Jacob, will come to your island home or vacation rental and cater an amazing seasonal, fresh and healthy meal for you and your guests, lovingly made with locally grown and organic ingredients.

From small family gatherings, to larger cocktail and dinner parties and intimate weddings, we will create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.

Here’s how it works:

First, we will come up with a customized menu suited to your tastes with special attention to any dietary restrictions or allergies of your guests. We come to your home or rental to cook, serve, and clean up, leaving your kitchen in the same condition as when we arrived so that you will have nothing to worry about except enjoying dinner with your guests.

Our goal is for our clients to relax and enjoy island time while our personal chefs meticulously prepare a truly special dinner using only the freshest ingredients. We source seasonal produce, some of which we grow in our own garden on Nantucket, local, wild-caught and high quality seafood, meats and poultry. Our proteins are slow-cooked over a hardwood charcoal fire for unmatched flavor which leaves you craving for more.

As Nantucket’s premier year-round private chef and catering service that’s been in business since 2012, we take all the guesswork out of entertaining guests in your home for a one-of-a-kind island dining experience that goes above and beyond anything else you’ll find on the island.
