BUFFET CATERING

Full-Service Sandwich Platters

Our catering platters are the most popular choice for office meetings and informal gatherings. Each platter features an assortment of our most popular subs, including smoked turkey breast, Virginia honey ham, and roast beef, cut into manageable, easy-to-grab portions.

Sandwiches are layered with provolone cheese and crisp vegetables, while mayonnaise, mustard, and our famous kosher dill pickle spears are packed separately on the side so guests can customize their subs without making the bread soggy.

Standard Sub Platter Assortment

Smoked turkey breast, Virginia honey ham, and USDA choice roast beef with provolone cheese, crisp shredded lettuce, and sliced tomato.

Preserved Bread Quality

Mayonnaise, spicy deli mustard, and kosher dill pickle spears ride in secure separate containers to keep artisan rolls dry during staging.

TIMELINE PROTOCOLS 24–48 HOUR ADVANCE

Ordering Timelines and Serving Guidance

To ensure your bread is baked fresh and our prep line is staged properly, we request catering orders be placed at least 24 hours in advance. For large corporate events requiring more than ten platters or fifty boxed lunches, providing 48 hours notice helps our kitchen source all ingredients smoothly.

If you are unsure how many platters your group requires, our team members can calculate appropriate portion counts based on your guest list, duration of the meeting, and dietary requirements.

Portion Planning Formula: As a general benchmark, calculate 1.5 to 2 sub cuts per guest when pairing platters with salads and dessert trays.
