Private Event Catering in Peterborough & Central Ontario

catering for every occasion

for gatherings that feel personal, not produced.

Private events are different. They’re smaller, closer, and shaped more by the people in the room than by a schedule.

Fyrestoke provides private event catering in Peterborough built around care, pacing, and food that feels considered — whether that means a composed drop-off, a shared table, or a more involved service. Our role is to support the gathering without turning it into a production

Food that brings everyone closer

Private events invite a different kind of attention. Guests notice more. Timing feels tighter. The food sits closer to the center of the gathering.

We approach private event catering with that in mind. Aroma matters, but it’s measured. Heat is present, but controlled. Service moves with the room instead of over it. The goal isn’t impact — it’s connection.

Private Event Catering Service Styles

Drop-Off

Simple and composed.

Drop-off catering works well for private events that want quality food without on-site service. Menus are designed specifically for this format, delivered ready to serve, and built to hold well as the event unfolds.

This option keeps things relaxed while still feeling intentional.

Buffet

Shared food, natural flow.

Buffet and family-style service brings food into the center of the room. Dishes are shared, passed, and replenished as needed, creating an easy rhythm that suits informal celebrations and gatherings.

This format adds interaction without adding formality.

Elevated /plated

Structured without being stiff.

For private events that want a more guided meal, elevated service offers pacing and coordination without the weight of a formal occasion.

Courses are served with intention, allowing the food to be noticed without dominating the evening.
