Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
South End Lilly's will keep your event date open on te calandar while we chat about details. Menus are custom made and input is welcome. From there, signatures and deposits are next.
I'll check in periodically to confirm any head count changes and further details.
We like to arrive 2.5 hours before service to set up and finish cooking.
We'll break down and clos down, leaving the kitchen clean and ready for you to use.

How did you get started in this business?
I've been very fortunate to learn from some passionate, creative people. But I started really getting crazy ideas of my own as far as menu writing.
I worked for people that finally got me to understand; unique is awesome, but simple is best.
So, I still was passionate about writing menus and the business side of things.
South End Lilly's started in 2016, but really picked up in 2019. Now it's pretty much a family business as Chef's husband, Brent, is usually the genius behind setting up and quality checking the food.
What types of customers have you worked with?
We have been invited to cater:
Bachelor/ Bachelorette Parties
