Food
Genuinely local and sustainable, our chef Leah Detreville’s cooking centers around seasonal food from farmers we know and trust.
Tailored!
Skillfully made with dedication and a passion for good food and good times, we use as many local, home-grown products as possible, combining them with international flavors and cooking techniques.
All menus, whether omnivorous, vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or designed to be culturally resonant for your family, are customized by our chef Leah Detreville, in collaboration with the couple.
Food connects people. Dinner on your wedding day should feel like an intimate gathering prepared by people who know and care for you.
Our chef, in her own words
My name is Leah Detreville. I’ve been passionate about food for as long as I can remember. To me, food is a form of getting to know someone. It allows me to connect with other people and cultures in a tangible and meaningful way.
I’ve been in the restaurant and catering business for the past nine years. Throughout that time I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing chefs, front-of-house managers, event coordinators, and other extraordinary people, who have aided in my personal and professional growth.
I take pride in incorporating fresh and local food into the kitchen with the assistance of local farms and makers. It is my passion to bring a fine dining experience to the table, that is simple, elegant, and accessible.

Quality & sustainability
Clean, organic, pastured, no pesticides – we seek out sources who use regenerative practices that care for the environment and our community. We will only serve you the freshest food available, so if ever necessary, we will substitute ingredients thoughtfully based on what our partners can provide. As we get to know each other, you’ll see how this ethos informs everything we do.
Our local network
We love working with as many local farmers, makers, and bakers as possible. Engaging with this local network allows us to bring the freshest ingredients to the table while also helping strengthen our local food economy. These collaborations translate into inventive and delicious dishes that are proudly sourced from Catskill-based businesses – it’s a true community accomplishment.
Pricing
Food includes a market table with a curated selection of cheeses and charcuterie, dips, spreads, marinated olives, and artisanal bread, and four passed hors-d’oeuvres at cocktail hour at the hilltop pavilion; and during the sit-down dinner at the roofed terrace, an appetizer (soup or salad), and three choices of main courses, all together starting at $135 per person.
An impressive dessert table at the carriage barn, offering individual mini desserts, starts at $20 per person.
All tableware, silverware, glassware, and napkins are included.
Of course, a first consultation (we call it a food talk) and an extensive tasting are free of charge.
Bar and catering fees are subject to 20% pre-tax gratuity and 8% sales tax.
Creating your menu
Creating your menu will be a collaboration between you and Leah, our chef. Planning your menu will entail a conversation about your favorite foods, getting to know your personality and style, and an extensive tasting at our place.
Our goal is to design a fully tailored menu and experience for you and your guests.
Here’s a collection of menu examples to get you inspired:
Food details & policies
Style of service
Depending on menu choices and couples’ preferences, we serve dinner either plated, family-style, or a combination of both.
Late-night snacks
Optional late-night snacks are served at the carriage barn during the second half of the dance party. Late-night snacks are priced separately, depending on the selections and variety of foods.
Dietary requirements
We can accommodate most guests’ dietary needs as long as we are notified in advance. We run a nut-free kitchen.
Vendor meals
For outside vendors or anyone who is not a guest but will require a meal, the client is charged at half price for any vendor meals.
Full service, in-house
Our chef, Leah Detreville, and her kitchen team are the sole providers of food at our venue. She utilizes as many local produce, meat and poultry farmers, and artisan cheeses as possible.
Our pastry chef, Patty Tripodi, provides all desserts and an optional small wedding cake (6” over 8” in diameter each, with a three-layer height).
You are, however, welcome to purchase a larger cake elsewhere. We have a great list of local wedding cake bakers. We do not charge a cake-cutting fee.
Tasting
Couples who have booked their wedding at our place are invited to an extensive tasting before a final menu selection.
Before the tasting, we plan a food talk over Zoom to discuss preferences and dietary requirements so Chef Leah can develop a comprehensive, tailored tasting menu.
