Only shameless gushing will do to begin to describe what Lachef does for a host! They did a BIG party for me which was handled to perfection from scrumptious food beautifully presented by genuinely pleasant, attentive servers to meticulous clean up of my own bone china and Irish crystal that left my kitchen cleaner than at the beginning of the event. Of course they are able to provide everything needed for serving, but I love that they will work carefully with my own things as well.
When not expecting cast of thousands. we do pick up (or delivery) and call on them frequently for dinner parties of the ten guest variety, their menu being so varied and delicious that we can have repeat guests who never are served the same thing twice...although I get a lot of requests for repeat dishes, especially apps! The candied bacon is a straight up sin. Not only do they have a huge menu, and can help you create a unique dinner from all their usual offerings, but they will work with you if you have a favorite recipe as well. Mary, queen of the kitchen for forever, has magic hands! Her special for me Irish stew and colcannon for St. Patrick's Day were beyond beyond.
During the pandemic we have taken frequent advantage of their dinner for four option, which you can find on their website. It is perfect for the bubble people one has dared to entertain, and can be adjusted to your wishes. The Lachef staff is easy to deal with, down to earth and accommodating for mere mortals, but sufficiently skilled to lay out tea for the queen (and the tea they did for me was indeed fit for the queen...lavender egg salad sandwiches alone were worth polishing the silver!) They will NOT steer you wrong!
If you are looking for a treat (guys, a surprise dinner for the bride?), or just want your reputation as the hostess with the mostest solidified, don't miss Lachef!
