Scanway’s Approach

Our chefs come from around the world and cook their own cuisines authentically, so a custom menu in any cuisine, from Indian to Mediterranean to East Asian, is a normal request rather than a special one. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergen-specific requirements are built into the menu, not bolted on beside it.

Every menu is built to the brief rather than chosen off a list:

  • plated dinners
  • family style
  • buffets
  • chef-attended stations
  • canapé receptions
  • working breakfasts and lunches
  • break service
  • full bar

Offsite catering

Scanway caters anywhere in Nova Scotia at the venue of your choosing, indoors or out, and takes the full food and beverage program off your hands: menu, bar, rentals, staffing and service.

Lead time required depends on the size of the event. Smaller functions can come together on short notice; for larger events, the earlier we start planning together, the better the execution on the day.
