Been to The cafe for breakfast and lunch ... ordered their baked goods for special occasions. I agree, their food is very good.

If you do not mind a bit of a drive, Concord Beef and Seafood. Very nice selection of seafood, and excellent cuts of meat. Chicken, chops , and steak. High quality, and a bit pricey. But it is the best in reasonable driving distance

Christine Richer does wonderful food! She's in Laconia, but might make the trip to your side of the lake.

I see three levels of service.
1. Large quantity take out
2. BBQ or similar onsite cooking
3. Full "wedding", tents, waitstaff, bartenders, plated food, multi-course, tables, linens, silverware, set up, take down, etc.

All of these could be considered "catering" and infinite variations in between.

Or, you can just hire a couple of people to cook hamburgs and hot dogs and you buy potato salad and plastic forks. How many people do you plan to serve? Rain plans?
This is all very vague.

We have a tent in the event of rain.

I suppose maybe catering wasn't the prefect title for the thread. We have about 30 people and don't want to cook so it is more like a large take out order. However a lot of restaurants have "catering" menus so that was kind of what we were thinking.

I think the biggest challenge is not having been in the area for about 10 years!

Thanks for all the feedback and private messages they have ben helpful.

Rubbin' Butts sounds like it could get you what you need. Good food at pretty reasonable prices too. If you take a look at their menu you will see some options. Portions are large, for instance the Family 4 dinner easily serves about 8. They can also customize for your larger group, just give them a call. have a great gathering!
