~ Repast Gatherings & Delivery Services ~

Losing a loved one is such a difficult journey to navigate. The Occasional Chefs would like to offer sincere and heartfelt condolences for your loss. During this painful time, it is our intention to help ease your burden as you gather with family, friends & neighbors. When a funeral service is over, people are often left feeling alone, bereft, and not sure what to do or where to go. Many tend to look for some sort of support or guidance, not wanting to just ‘pack up and leave’. Planning an after-funeral meal or gathering is an essential part of the funeral and grieving process. Traditionally, it is a special time when friends & family come together to share a meal; to celebrate and remember the life of their loved one. It gives mourners a place to go and allows friends and family to talk, bond, and share their feelings and personal stories about the deceased

Holding a Repast at a restaurant can be somewhat impersonal, besides being exorbitantly expensive. A more favorable alternative is to host an intimate reception in a private setting such as your home, church hall, funeral home or club house. We can help you avoid the angst of shopping and cooking in order to provide quality food for your guests.

Let us do the leg work for you. We will order, pick up, deliver, & set up your reception at your desired location. After carefully choosing a wide array of specialty fare from local businesses and markets, we have put together several high quality buffet menus and add-on options. Affordable yet delicious, these selections are designed to offer sustenance and comfort in your time of grief. Choose from our pre-designed menus, expand, or customize your own menu from the add-on selections listed. $300 minimum per order; 18% gratuity will be applied. Pricing includes disposable tableware, serving platters & chafers. All orders require 24 hours notice. Upscale rental items / arrangements can be made through a local rental company. Based on availability, wait staff can be provided. Liquor / ice / soda / beer & wine delivery is available upon request. Sympathy Baskets are also available below. Please review our menus and delivery options and let us know how we can help.
