What Is Anti Catering?
Anti catering is our way of saying this is not a standard tray drop, chafing dish, reheat, buffet line experience. It is a private chef led service that feels restaurant level, but built around your home, your guests, and your pace. We design the menu with you, source intentionally, cook onsite, and manage the flow of the evening with polished hospitality, discretion as standard, and attention to the details most people do not think about until they matter.
Cleanliness is non negotiable. We work with a calm, organized setup, maintain a spotless station throughout service, and treat your kitchen with the same respect we would in a professional environment. Our standard is Michelin level execution in food, service, and detail, while still keeping the experience warm, approachable, and effortless for the host.
This is what separates Curds & Corks from the masses. We are not built for volume, we are built for precision, personalization, and a higher bar from planning to cleanup.
In plain terms, anti catering means:
Cooked onsite: Fresh execution in your space, never reheated food.
Chef curated menus: Built around your preferences, dietary needs, seasonality, and the vibe you want.
Hospitality and pacing: Smooth service flow, timing, and guest experience handled end to end.
Clean, professional production: Organized, sanitary, low footprint, and fully cleaned down.
Turnkey service: We bring what we need, anticipate needs before they are requested, and leave your space exactly how we found it.
