Catering

If you have wondered whether the Urban Deli does catering, the answer is a definite, “Yes!” We’ve been doing it since we opened. Call us at 506.652.3354.

What we offer is based on our menus (Urban Deli and Italian by Night), but we also go “off menu,” depending on what you are looking for. If you’re not certain what you might like, tell us what kind of an event or occasion you have in mind and we can make suggestions.

We’re also pretty wide open as to what we can cater. Here are a few ideas or examples:

  • Boardroom meetings
  • Event(s)
  • Birthdays
  • Weddings
  • Anniversaries
  • Grand Openings
  • Special personal occasions
  • Corporate occasions
  • House Parties
  • Good old-fashioned kitchen parties

In other words, if you ask us, “What sorts of things do you cater?” our answer is, “What cha got?” We’re pretty flexible.

It can never hurt to talk so if you have something in mind, give us a call at 506.652.3354 or send us an email or even just drop in for a chat. We’d love to work with you and even provide some ideas, if you would like that.

(You can also contact us for take-out orders at the same number, 506.652.3354.)
