Forklift Catering

Forklift Catering is a chef-owned and operated catering company based in the Boston area, founded on the idea that great events are built around great food and that the local event industry needed a sustainable catering option. Menus feature locally sourced and sustainable ingredients whenever possible, and every one is customized, whether a couple wants a vegan wedding menu or a client needs a gluten-free dinner for the boss.

The team chooses vendors for the thought behind their process as well as product quality. Beyond the food, Forklift helps with equipment selection, beverage management and vendor recommendations, acting as a resource for the whole event. Dennis traces his love of cooking to watching Julia Child on television at age four, and the staff includes chefs, a sales and marketing director, a staffing and event manager, and a beverage specialist.
