As is the case with all of the food we cook at Goucher College, our catered meals are always made from scratch with ingredients inspired by the season, many of which are sourced locally.
But, our commitment to you doesn’t stop with the food. Our events team offers creative planning services to help you make your vision come to life. On the day of your event, they’ll be right there with you to ensure that everything from décor and setup to service and event flow are thoughtfully and professionally executed.

Please have your estimated number of attendees, event start and end times, event location, the event name and contact information when ordering.
