Question 1

What exactly is a charcuterie bar?

Accepted Answer

Our charcuterie bar is a fully styled, interactive food experience where your guests choose their own perfect board from a curated spread of cheeses, meats, crackers, and accompaniments and a charcuterie attendant styles their board on-site. It's like a grazing table- but individualized, fresher, prettier, and way more fun!

Question 2

What's included when I book the charcuterie bar?

Accepted Answer

Every booking includes travel, setup, styling, locally sourced ingredients, cold holding trays to keep food fresh, serving utensils, signage, optional engraved boards for your event, and 2 hours of service by our charcuterie attendants, who keep the bar stocked and the guests happy. It's hands-off for you so that you can enjoy your event.

Question 3

Can you accommodate food allergies or dietary preferences?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The bar is designed so that nothing touches until your guests choose it. We work with you to customize the menu ahead of time, and at the event, your guests pick their plate based on this menu. This makes it easy for the host to cater to all types of food and dietary preferences! However, please note that our charcuterie items are prepared in a shared commercial kitchen, so while we take great care, cross-contamination is possible and we cannot guarantee an allergy-free environment.

Question 4

How do I book the bar?

Accepted Answer

You can book the bar by submitting a booking inquiry form here.(www.curedbythecape.com/event-inquiry) After your form is submitted, we will contact you to discuss the details of your event and give you a custom quote. You are welcome to pay for our catering services in full at the time of booking, but a 50% deposit is required to secure your date. A month before your event, we will finalize menu details and guest count with you, and the remaining balance will be due two weeks prior to your event date. After this, you can sit back, relax, and we will take care of the rest!

Question 5

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking at least 3-4 weeks in advance for weekend events, and even farther in advance during the summer season. That said, always feel free to reach out- we may have last-minute availability!

Question 6

Do you travel off-Cape?

Accepted Answer

We're based on Cape Cod and currently serve the Cape and surrounding areas including but not limited to the South Shore and Boston. Off-Cape events are subject to a travel fee. We are able to accommodate only select events on the islands. For events on Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket, the cost of the car ferry and transport for our team and equipment will be added as a travel fee to your final invoice.

Question 7

What is the cost to book the mobile charcuterie bar?

Accepted Answer

The price is based on guest count and starts at $25/person with a minimum of 20 guests. We have several add-on options from displays and customized engravements on the boards to mocktail packages. Every event is a little different- reach out and we'll build something just right for you!

Question 8

How do you keep the charcuterie cold?

Accepted Answer

This is what makes our charcuterie bar even better than your standard charcuterie board or grazing table! Our mobile charcuterie bar is equipped with cold-holding trays that we fill with ice. This keeps your charcuterie fresh and cold for the entire event. Say goodbye to sweaty meats and melty cheeses!

Question 9

What if I want the bar for longer than 2 hours?

Accepted Answer

You are able to book the bar for additional time with an add-on fee.

Question 10

What if I only want the bar for an hour?

Accepted Answer

Our base prices reflect service for two hours. We are happy to cater events for only an hour as requested, however it will not change the cost of booking the bar.

Question 11

How do you get the charcuterie bar to my event?

Accepted Answer

Our charcuterie bar is completely collapsible, and we bring it directly to your event and set it up on-site. No mess, no stress.
