Vancouver Hors D'oeuvre Catering!

“My art opening was certainly enhanced by the exquisite food your catering company provided. Your serving staff were professional and I was impressed by the original presentation of the hors d’oeuvre. Thank you again and I look forward to using your services for my next function!”

Charisse Baker – Vancouver Abstract Artist

“Drew Cooks and Drew sure did! Drew Cooks catered a stag for over 30 hungry guys, and we are not talking chips and burgers, we are talking exotic food for an exotic event. Satay (beef, chicken, pork), tapas platter (proscuitto, serrano, manchego), jerk chicken tarts, pita with array of dips. A serious spread needless to say. We played hard and ate well. Thanks Drew!”
