Catering

The 1812 Hitching Post is known for our freshly prepared dishes.   We are located in a farming community.  We cook like our grandmothers did with local and fresh ingredients from our organic garden and neighborhood farmer’s markets.  We use non GMO oil.   Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free dishes are available.   Children’s meals are available.  We know you want your wedding meal to be extraordinary!

You can choose from one of our themed menus or design your own menu.    Our in-house catering is designed for buffet style catering with station and hand-passed appetizer options.

You are also welcome to bring your own catering, even from home, or hire outside vendors so you have exactly the food you desire for your event.

Top off your event with a S’mores bar, ice cream bar, candy bar, chocolate fountain, or other special treat!
