About Forklift Catering
Founded in 2009
Forklift Catering was founded on the principle that a great event is built around great food and that the Boston event industry needs a sustainable catering option. Using locally sourced and sustainable product whenever possible, our team will work with you to create an experience that is both personalized and seamless. We at Forklift Catering think that the best parties are built on amazing food, but we also recognize that a successful event requires a lot more. That is why we have come to assist you! Whether it's creating a vegan menu for your wedding or a gluten-free dinner for your boss, we'll work with you to create a memorable occasion. We enjoy working with our clients to bring those personal elements to life. The foundation for a great menu is high-quality ingredients. As a chef-owned and controlled business, we've always placed a premium on collaborating with the greatest local vendors. We choose our vendors not just for the quality of their products, but also for the mindfulness with which they go about their business. Our enthusiasm for good food is merely one aspect of our business. We gladly incorporate these services in addition to crafting your bespoke menu, from equipment selection to beverage management to vendor suggestions. All of these factors combine to create a memorable event. Our team is here to assist you in realizing your vision for your special occasion.

- What menu customization options do you offer?
- Forklift specializes in sustainably designed custom events. Every menu we do is different. We're looking for your event vision so we can best design a proposal to match it!
- Do you offer catering options to accommodate special dietary needs?
- Forklift operates out of a scratch kitchen so we're easily able to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. When it's your event, we believe the menu should be designed to suit your personal needs. For guests, we can accommodate needs on a case-by-case basis.
- What are the pricing options for your packages?
- We do not offer package pricing. Every event is different. In general, we find the following breakdown is a good jumping off point. 2-hour cocktail reception: $100-200pp, 3-hour shower/social event: $150 - 250pp, 5-hour wedding/mitzvah: $275 - 400pp
- Will you bring your own catering equipment to my venue?
- Yes, we will ensure all catering related equipment is on-site for your event. The exception is tents and lighting which are typically procured directly through the tent company.
- Do you offer tastings, and when would my tasting take place?
- Any Client may request a single tasting for no more than two individuals at a flat rate of $500.00. For events totaling $8,00 or more in menu charges, this tasting is provided at no additional cost. Booked events receive date priority and dates are limited.
