• Successful event catering requires a unique blend of skills and practical know-how...with a little MacGyver mixed in.

    Whether it’s fine dining for a private event, a relaxed family-style get-together or a funky cocktail party - we promise you’ll get beautiful, freshly prepared food that will make you happy.

  • Picnic House customizes all our menus
    to create the event you envision.

    We don’t want to be a food “factory” anymore than you want to eat that mess! We will always be honest and realistic with you to make sure you get exactly what you want without the food being compromised.

  • Picnic House utilizes French fundamentals to offer refined, modern comfort food.

    We believe in seasonal menus that are imaginative, accessible and highlight locally-sourced ingredients to honor the bounty of the Chesapeake.

  • We are all about the food! Naturally, it lies at the heart of our work and fundamentally inspires each event we create.

    It’s not enough just to cook something delicious - we strive to serve food with integrity that we can proudly stand behind.

  • “America’s best” and mediterranean inspired food with soul are undeniably our signature styles.

    We think of Picnic House as a link between the Chesapeake and other world cuisines, coupling flavors and cooking techniques with local ingredients.

  • Our menus are inspired by classic recipes with an engaging Picnic House twist

    - and you can bet that top quality, impeccable ingredients are at the heart of every dish.  

  • Fussy food isn’t our thing,

    but we do want our guests to experience something they might not cook for themselves at home.

  • We love to re-introduce forgotten cuts of meat and lesser known produce varieties.

    Whether it’s a luscious pork belly, that’s been braised for hours, or a delicately stuffed squash bloosom, our eceletic style is a refreshing change that will surely win over your tastebuds... and your hearts!
