Somerset Abbey Food Menu

We offer a catering menu for our private events with the focus on real food that is prepared in house with all the real butter, sugar and love my grandma put into her cooking! This option is used for Private Parties, Company Dinners and Class reunions (25 person minimum). We also have an Ala Cart menu at our shows that usually feature a couple appetizers, 3 meal choices and a dessert fresh out of our scratch kitchen. Menus change from week to week and do not resemble this menu.
