Summer is off to a great start at the Phoenixville Foundry! The décor from this past weekend had a warm feel with orange and purple and could make even the gloomiest of days feel sunny.

The table settings were a trio of glass cylinders with submerged orchids and floating candles. Sommerfield Design Flowers handled all of the floral arrangements for a stunning look.

The food was presented and separated by station, which meant there was something for everyone! Each guest was able to go up and choose exactly what they wanted as it was being made fresh by our skilled chefs. Some of the stations at this reception included: sushi bar, raw bar, pasta station, and carving station.

In addition to the stations, there were also delectable hors d’oeuvre being passed around, such as: mini Caesar salads sprinkled with homemade pumpernickel croutons, our signature mini cheese steaks with whiz and grilled onions, bocconcini mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto with balsamic glaze, beer marinated shrimp with curried citrus mayo, classic bruschetta with tomato basil concasse on a homemade crostini, and chicken satay with spicy peanut sauce. Each plate was more vibrant than the next, some even included flowers that accented the food perfectly and continued with the summer theme.

Overall, the newly married couple and guests were very pleased with everything and the J. Scott Catering staff had a great time pulling off another successful event.

Sugartown Strawberries is excited to announce our 2011 dates for our Farmtable Chef’s Dinner Series in partnership with J. Scott Catering and Hives for Lives!

All of our past dinners have been held with great success and we are looking forward to carrying on the same tradition!  Each event has been attended by over 80 “farm-loving” friends that have come out to enjoy a wonderful evening on the farm.  The meal, which will be prepared by J. Scott Catering, will feature a menu of seasonally inspired, locally sourced ingredients.  The events kick-off with appetizers and sangria served under a 300 year old Oak tree where guests can socialize, see old friends and meet new ones!  We then take a sunset hayride tour of the farm, which will include multiple educational stops along the way.  Upon arrival at our open air dining site, which provides breathtaking, romantic views of a Chester County Century Farm, guests will enjoy a full-course menu made entirely from locally-sourced ingredients.  By the end of the evening, guests will be mingling and table-hopping.  New friendships will be formed and fun will be had by all!  As an added bonus the event will enable us to donate funds to Hives for Lives, a non-profit organization dedicated to cancer research.

The dates for our upcoming dinner events are June 12^th, September 18^th, and October 2^nd.  Dinner will be served under candlelight and bonfire.  Tickets to the event are $95 per person.   The event is BYOB.  Sugartown Strawberries is located in Malvern, Pennsylvania, a 230 acre working farm in Chester County that has been in the family since 1896!  The farm has 100 acres of tillable land and is registered as a Natural Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

Since founding J. Scott Catering in 1995, Scott Walsh has worked hard to establish a reputation for exceptional food and superior customer service.  His efforts have not gone unnoticed.  J. Scott Catering has been recognized locally and nationally for culinary talent and fine attention to detail, including being named for six consecutive years as “Best Caterer” by Main Line Today.  Scott also strongly believes in the Buy Fresh/Buy local movement and sources ingredients locally, thereby supporting our local farm community.

Hives for Lives is a non-profit organization started by two teenagers in 2004 as a result of their grandfather’s death.  They harvest and sell local honey and donate all the money to various cancer societies.  In total, over the course of five years, they have donated close to $300,000 with the hope of finding a cure.

Please join us in what will be wonderful celebrations of Chester County farmers and food artisans!

When planning for an event, often times we ask the client if they are considering a sit down, station or buffet style meal.  Rarely does someone say they’d like a family style service.  We offered this type of service to a client holding an event last and it was received with enthusiasm.  Platters of elegantly displayed food were placed on each guest table, encouraging interaction between guests and conversations with friends old and new.  Fewer guests per table to allow room for food also gives a more intimate atmosphere during a large gathering.

For this event fare included tuna Nicoise salad, grilled market vegetable, yellow and red tomato salad with fresh mozzarella and basil and thinly sliced fresh grilled chicken.  Each table was set with fresh brewed iced tea to enhance the Spring sense of the event.  Guests concluded the meal with three miniature crème brulees.

Décor for the event look like a breath of fresh Spring air.  Aqua, pink, yellow and green gave a wood paneled room the ambiance of a garden party in the sunshine of the season.  Sommerfield Design Flowers tall vases gave height to the tables without taking up an exorbitant amount of space on the table.

However the most interesting part of this event was that it was for one of our corporate clients.  This is a perfect example of why a meeting does not have to follow the typical fluorescent dictation.  We make it a point of turning the average corporate meeting into a stylish and exciting event.  Whether you are pitching a new product or congratulating the sales team, J. Scott Catering can make it a memorable occasion.
