Meat-Free Cuisine by Fireside Catering

At Fireside Catering we offer menus that are full of sumptuous fare designed to please a variety of taste buds.  When Laura and Vikram approached us about booking their wedding at the beautiful Bradley Estate, they wanted their entire menu to reflect their food values, which meant no meat on the menu!

Our culinary team, led by Executive Chef Karen Osterberg and Executive Sous Chef Julie Larocque, rose to the challenge creating a meat-free menu including an abundance vegetables, grains, pasta and cheeses that left all the guests satiated and excited to celebrate Laura & Vikram’s special day.

Fireside Catering sources ingredients locally whenever possible.  During the New England growing season, we are able to provide a variety of fruits and vegetables from our own Gibbet Hill Farm in Groton, Massachusetts.  Continue scrolling to see some of the gorgeous, vegetable-forward cuisine served at Laura & Vikram’s Bradley Estate wedding.
