A Fresh Take on Flavor: Our New Menu
Is Here!
Throughout Southern California, Summit Event Catering is known for crafting unforgettable dining experiences that elevate every celebration. With our newly unveiled menu, we’ve taken that commitment to excellence to delicious new heights. Featuring all of our most popular dishes that highlight bold flavors, seasonal ingredients, and inspired presentation, plus exciting new options, our chef can help you create a culinary journey that is unforgettable from the first bite to the last.
The dining experience begins with irresistible appetizers that set the tone for an extraordinary meal. Imagine trays of perfectly crisp coconut beer battered shrimp with tangerine mustard sauce, thick cut bacon slices seasoned with brown sugar and pepper flakes, watermelon caprese skewers drizzled with aged balsamic and feta, and fig, pear and prosciutto flatbread with fontina, blue cheese and arugula. Every bite offers a balance of texture and taste, designed to spark conversation and excitement from the very first course.
Summit’s chefs have poured their creativity into developing incredible flavors across every category. The entrees showcase locally sourced produce, quality proteins, and inventive pairings - from savory short ribs with a black peppercorn demi-glace to succulent chicken breast with madeira wine sauce and sautéed wild mushrooms. Each dish reflects Summit’s signature attention to detail, ensuring that flavor and freshness take center stage.
In true Summit fashion, the new menu celebrates inclusivity with a generous variety of vegetarian and vegan options. Guests can enjoy hearty, satisfying dishes that go far beyond the basics - appetizers like curried butternut squash soup shooters and mango ceviche tostadas, and entrees like creamy mushroom risotto with a portabello cap and cauliflower steak with chickpea tagine. We can also accommodate gluten free and other dietary preferences and requirements, while still ensuring a delicious dining experience. Every option is crafted with the same care and creativity as the rest of the menu, making it easy for hosts to cater to every palate.
Drawing inspiration from around the globe, Summit’s culinary team has also embraced international flavors that bring a sense of adventure to every event. Think Thai satay skewers, bulgogi bao tacos with kimchi slaw, hearty vegetable paella and traditional chicken mole - flavors that add warmth and vibrancy to any gathering. These globally inspired bites ensure that each menu feels both sophisticated and approachable - perfect for weddings, galas, and corporate events alike.
No celebration would be complete without something sweet, and our delectable desserts are a finale worth savoring. From rich Ghirardelli chocolate mousse cups to Summit’s famous vanilla custard bread pudding, every dessert is designed to delight the senses and end the meal on a high note.
Summit Event Catering’s new menu is more than just an update - it’s an invitation to celebrate flavor, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand affair, this is catering that turns every moment into a masterpiece.
