How about vegans, vegetarian and gluten-free guests?
We are all about LIVE-FIRE cooking in front of our guests - so much more fun than just providing food. You will find our stellar staff (which include culinary university faculty and department chairs) personable, professional and delightfully accommodating.
All over MA, RI, NH, VT, ME, CT, and the Cape and Islands. Travel beyond 20-miles incurs an extra mileage fee, and possibly, an overnight expense.
Hard-packed stone, asphalt or a dry grassy area is best with easy in/out access. The ovens rotates 360-degrees offering flexibility.
Our season starts in April, and ends sometime in October/early November.
We have a minimum total price to cover our basic costs of bringing our full kitchen and staff to you. Most events have at least 50 guests, however, you can have fewer at our fee minimum.
“Gatsby” and “Gilda” are our two magnificent portable ovens. We have served 400-plus guests in the past.
Vegans and vegetarians can easily be accommodated. Gluten-free options are available with 7-day notice for non-Celiac guests ($10 additional). We are never totally gluten-free. We cook in the presence of gluten.
Allergy disclosure: Food may contain dairy, eggs, wheat, soybean, fish, seafood, sesame, peanuts and/or tree nuts.
How long will you be at our event?
We can manage most weather conditions, with the exception of lightning and severe storms. We request that your rented tent or venue provides an adequate, protected space. If we need to re-schedule, this will be done according to the contract. We highly suggest event insurance.

How far in advance should we book?
Book as soon as you have a specific date - or a flexible schedule. First, you will have a teleconference with our experience manager, this is your gateway to receiving a customized menu with pricing options. Only a signed contract and payment hold your date.
If you are being spontaneous, by all means give us a call, we may have an opening!
The signed contract and required payment are mailed to “Gilded Tomato Company” at 2 Peckham Street Rehoboth, MA 02769.
Do You Offer Tastings
We are very much a “word-of-mouth” business, kindly read our reviews, check out our photo galleries, and speak to your friends who have hired us. It isn’t practical for us to do private tastings.
Do you do children’s parties?
We can create a special set up including aprons and chef’s hats. Children are part of your overall guest count. A perfect “photo op” for friends and family!
Weddings with your Pooch!
Is outside food permitted?
We will create a silver tray with approved snacks and water bowl.
No outside food is permitted per our insurance, with the exception of wedding cake provided by licensed bakery.
Your contract and guide with menu/pricing will have additional provision. Please read it carefully. We practice transparency.
