Behind-The-Scenes of The Willcox Mobile Kitchen
The Willcox Catering Department has long offered culinary catering services offsite as well as onsite. Under the leadership of the Director of Sales Katherine Grantham, we have seen a deep need for expanding our offsite catering services as well as providing a more simplistic client experience in the process. To help achieve this process Katherine is spearheading a new venture for the catering department- The Willcox Mobile Kitchen.
“After planning and executing offsite catered events at The Willcox for the past 10 years, I have seen the beauty in creating a simplified process for clients when planning an event. When The Willcox caters your event, we work with you on everything from creating custom menus, handling all event rentals, creating a timeline, and now also providing a fully commercial kitchen that ensures culinary excellence that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Katherine.
Some of the aspects that our clients have enjoyed the most about The Willcox Mobile Kitchen is the ability to provide any style of menu with no culinary restrictions. By having a fully commercial kitchen this gives us the ability to cook lobster onsite, grill steaks to specific temperatures, or provide a plated dinner for 500 guests at your farm or favorite polo field. We can also do this with all food safety protocols in place. Another benefit our clients have enjoyed is having full functionality of their own kitchen, as well as not having to worry about any clean up concluding the event.
The Willcox Mobile Kitchen was created with a vision: to make the high-end experience of dining at The Restaurant available beyond the hotel. The Willcox catering team goes the extra mile to not only provide exceptional food but to create an immersive experience- from assorted stations serving southern comfort foods and artisan olive oils, to seafood towers and late-night Chicago dogs to conclude an unforgettable night with your guests. From intimate dinner parties to grand weddings, galas, and corporate events, this new off-site catering endeavor serves events of all sizes.
