Middle Eastern and Armenian catering in Aldergrove
About 15 minutes west of our kitchen
Yes. Aldergrove is about 15 minutes west of our Abbotsford kitchen, off Highway 1 at 264th Street, so it is one of the two easiest areas we serve. We cater backyard and acreage gatherings, barn weddings, memorials and office lunches, arriving ready to serve with no kitchen needed on site.

- Distance About 15 minutes west of our kitchen
- Pickup Yes, easily. Fifteen minutes each way makes pickup a genuinely sensible choice here.

- To book Phone only. Call (819) 743-5953 with your date, guest count and the kind of event.
What does Middle Eastern catering in Aldergrove look like?
A mezze table plus charcoal grilled mains, delivered set up and ready to serve, or collected from our Abbotsford kitchen. Private property almost every time: yards, acreages, barns and cleared shops rather than commercial venues.
Aldergrove is practically next door. West on Highway 1 to the 264th Street exit and we are there in about fifteen minutes, which makes it the shortest run we make and one where short notice is genuinely workable.
Most of what we cater here happens on properties rather than in venues. Acreages, large yards, shops and barns cleared out for a party. That setting rewards food that does not need a commercial kitchen or a service team standing by. We bring the spread ready to eat, set it out, and the host gets to host. There is no chafing rig to hire and nobody has to stand over the trays.
Because it sits right between Abbotsford and Langley, Aldergrove events often pull guests from both directions, and guest counts tend to run higher than people first estimate. We would rather you over-order slightly than watch the trays empty with a third of the room still waiting. Mezze makes that easy to adjust right up close to the date.

What this distance changes in practice
- Nothing much changes at fifteen minutes. This is close to home-city conditions.
- Almost every event here has no kitchen on site, so the spread arrives complete and ready to eat.
- Room-temperature dishes carry the afternoon, which is what a long outdoor party actually needs.
- Short notice is realistic, and so is adding a tray late.
- Guest counts here run higher than first estimates more often than in any other city we serve.
What we cater here
What events do you cater in Aldergrove?
Mostly these four. Anything built around a shared table works, because a mezze spread scales by adding trays rather than re-planning the menu.
Barn and shop weddings
No commercial kitchen needed; we arrive ready to serve.
Family celebrations
Generous portions for a guest list that keeps growing.
Memorials and gatherings
Quiet, warm food arranged without a lot of back and forth.
How does the food get to Aldergrove?
We deliver it set up and ready to serve, or you collect it from our Abbotsford kitchen at no extra cost. Yes, easily. Fifteen minutes each way makes pickup a genuinely sensible choice here.
Everything on our menu can be ordered as a catering spread: charcoal grilled kabab and shish tawook, toshka, kibbe, rice, tabouli and Armenian salad, warm bread, and dips by the half kilo. If you are still working out quantities, our guide to planning food for 20, 50 or 100 guests does the math with you.
Before you call
What else do people ask about catering in Aldergrove?
Do you cater Middle Eastern food in Aldergrove?
Yes, and it is the easiest area we serve outside Abbotsford at about 15 minutes from our kitchen. Backyard gatherings, acreage and barn weddings, memorials and office lunches all work. Because we are close, we can often accommodate shorter notice here than further west.
Can you cater an outdoor party with no kitchen on site?
Yes, and that is most of what we do in Aldergrove. We arrive with the spread ready to serve, so no kitchen, no chafing setup and no service staff are required. The dips, salads, bread and many mains are good at room temperature, which suits a party that runs for hours.
How do I plan the amount of food for a backyard party?
Plan slightly generous, because Aldergrove guest lists grow. Mezze makes that easy: the spread widens by adding trays rather than changing the menu, so a late addition is a phone call. Our guide to catering for 20, 50 or 100 guests does the arithmetic with you before you ring.
How much does catering cost in Aldergrove?
It depends on your guest count, how much of the spread is grilled mains versus mezze, and whether you want drop off or more help on the day. We would rather talk it through on the phone than post a number that fits nobody. Call us with your headcount and occasion and we will walk you through it plainly.
What should I read before I call about Aldergrove?
These are the pieces that answer the questions Aldergrove customers ask most, written before you spend money rather than after.
