Holiday Catering from Your Neighborhood Butcher
We cater holiday parties out of the same counter we sell from every day, so what lands on your table is meat our butchers cut and prepared here rather than trays bought in from somewhere else.
What We Cater
Our standard catering menu covers what people actually order for a party: platters and trays, sides, sandwiches and larger cuts meant to feed a crowd. You can see the current list and order on our catering menu. If what you want is not on it, call the shop on 404-941-9171. We are happy to take special requests when we can manage them.
Choosing the Centerpiece
Most holiday tables want one thing to carve and a few things around it.
- A standing rib roast or a whole tenderloin, if you want to carve in front of people. There is a full method in our guide to cooking a rib roast.
- A glazed ham or a turkey for a traditional spread. Our turkey guide covers brining, timing and resting.
- Smoked brisket or pulled pork if the party is a looser, standing-up sort of evening.
- Sausages, sliders and sandwich platters for grazing rather than sitting down.
If you are not sure how much to order, tell us how many people you are feeding and we will work it out with you.
Ask for the Cut You Want
The catering menu is what we sell most of, not the limit of what the counter can do. Portioning, thickness, deboning, tying a roast and Frenching a rack are all ordinary requests. There is more on that in our guide to custom butcher cuts. Put it in the order notes or say so on the phone.
Sides That Earn Their Place
Keep the sides straightforward and let the meat carry the plate. Roasted vegetables, potatoes in some form, something sharp to cut the richness such as cranberry, pickles or a vinegary slaw, and good bread will cover most tables. We keep market goods, wine and beer in the shop, so the rest of the shopping happens in the same trip.
Any Size of Gathering
A dinner for eight and a party for eighty need different things from us, and mostly what they need is notice. Call as early as you can for a large order, particularly through November and December when the counter is at its busiest and the good roasts go first.
