How Do You Customize a Private Catering Menu for Your Guests?
Introduction
No two events are the same—so why should the menu be? At Supper Club YVR, every private dining in Vancouver experience starts with one essential ingredient: you. We tailor menus to reflect your style, preferences, and dietary needs—whether you’re planning an elegant engagement dinner, a plant-based gathering, or a cozy night in with comfort food. Here’s how we design the perfect custom menu for every guest and occasion.
1. It Starts with a Conversation
We begin by learning about your event: Who’s coming? What’s the vibe? Any favorite dishes, ingredients, or cuisines?
🎯 What We Ask:
✔ Dietary restrictions or allergies
✔ Preferences (vegan, pescatarian, gluten-free, etc.)
✔ Favorite ingredients or dishes
✔ The tone of the evening—formal or relaxed?
💬 “One of our guests loved Persian flavors, so we created a saffron-forward menu with lamb shank, tahdig, and herbed yogurt—served alongside West Coast wine pairings.”
2. We Design a Balanced, Multi-Course Experience
Our private dining menus are usually 3–5 courses, carefully paced and curated for flow and flavor. Each course complements the next, building toward a memorable culinary journey.
🍽 Sample Menu Flow:
- Starter: Seared scallops with corn purée
- Main: Braised beef short rib with truffle mash
- Dessert: Vanilla panna cotta with fresh berries

3. We Use Seasonal & Local Ingredients
Vancouver offers incredible local produce, seafood, and meats—so we build our menus around what’s fresh and in season. This not only elevates the flavor but also keeps the experience rooted in time and place.
🌿 Spring Examples:
- Pea and mint soup
- Halibut with fiddlehead ferns
- Rhubarb pavlova
🍂 Fall Favorites:
- Wild mushroom risotto
- Duck breast with spiced squash
- Caramelized pear tart
4. Optional Wine & Cocktail Pairings
Looking to take things a step further? We offer wine pairings and cocktail service to complement each course. Whether you love a bold BC red or a citrusy spritz to kick things off, we’ll help match drinks to your custom menu.
🍷 Add-on Options:
✔ Local wine flights
✔ Signature welcome cocktails
✔ Dessert wines and digestifs

5. We Adjust for Preferences Without Sacrificing Flavor
Gluten-free? Low-carb? Vegan? No problem. We specialize in creating inclusive menus that work for every guest—without feeling like “the modified plate.”
🌱 Examples of Accommodations:
✔ Vegan gnocchi with cashew cream instead of dairy-based sauce
✔ Almond cake made without gluten
✔ Dairy-free chocolate mousse with coconut whip
At Supper Club Vancouver, flavor and creativity come first—no matter the restriction.
