These questions pertain to events that are NOT held at one of our partnered venues. If you have questions about an event booked at a partnered venue, please contact your event coordinator.

Yes, we can certainly come to your office, but please schedule an appointment in advance. This ensures that we can give you the attention and service you deserve.

What services does GF provide?

We offer both drop-off catering and full-service catering options. Drop-off catering is perfect for events that don't require on-site staff, while full-service catering includes setup, staff, and cleanup for a more polished experience.

How much does catering cost?

Catering costs vary based on the type of event, guest count, and menu selection. We offer options that fit a wide range of budgets and are happy to work with you to create a package that suits your needs.

Do you customize meals?

While we offer a variety of set menus, we are always open to discussing customizations to accommodate your specific tastes and preferences. Just let us know what you're looking for!

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely! We are happy to accommodate the 9 major food allergies recognized by the FDA, as well as specific dietary preferences such as gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and more. Just inform us ahead of time so we can ensure everyone's needs are met.
