We ask that all clients choose a company from our preferred catering teams who have worked with Blockhouse, know our space and offer the highest quality of service. If you are considering a catering company that is not on our preferred list, or have a special chef you would like to highlight, please contact us to discuss our non-preferred policies thus, all food and beverage must be provided by a licensed and approved establishment.
