July 8, 2010 Museum of Anthropology |
|||
|
Peake of Catering was thrilled to be the first catering company to provide food and beverage services at the newly expanded grounds at the Museum of Anthropology. The gala for 500 was the closing banquet for the International Nuclear Physics Conference, the premier conference for those in the field of nuclear physics.
The evening began with cocktails and passed appetizers including spinach, lobster and almond beignets with an apricot coulis and asparagus spears wrapped in smoked salmon with a hint of lime flavoured chipotle cream cheese, to name a few. In keeping with Peake’s Ocean Wise sustainability program the main course featured wild mushroom and pistachio crusted line caught ling cod with an heirloom tomato and basil coulis served with seven grain rice and market fresh vegetables.
As to not obstruct views the north east, walls of Apex’s clear span tent were windowed, and in some areas pulled completely back to let the cool ocean breeze pass through. The three course plated dinner was served and cleared in under two hours including a 15 minute break for speeches. The evening was a resounding success with accolades from all involved including the venue, the client and most importantly, their guests. Chef and President David Peake said “This is a testament to the MOA, Apex tents and Peake of Catering working in unison to leave our international guests with an experience of a lifetime”.

April 9, 2010 Peake of Catering Takes Team Building to a Tasty New Level! |
|||
|
April 9th marked a new era in Peake of Catering as we launched our first annual Iron Chef Competition for one of our valued clients. The afternoon began with transforming their space into a fully functioning kitchen complete with 3 matching workstations and a demonstration table replete with an abundance of fresh produce, a selection of precooked starches and sauces along with an array of un-marked spice jars. 14 guests were split into 3 specially named teams with customized name badges. A quick introduction to the rules of play was given by their hostess and after a round of drinks and themed appetizers were passed, the real fun began. Our Executive Chef, Jody McLeod gave them a 20 minute demonstration of the proposed menu. They then had 80 minutes exactly to replicate (somewhat) what they had just been shown. The teams were graded on everything from punctuality to imagination and sense of humour to presentation.
All food was tasted and graded and an ultimate winner was pronounced. Gifts included tea towels with the company’s logo and an “I survived….”message printed on it tucked into a Peake of Catering mug along with limited edition cookbooks that features Peake of Catering. As far as team building goes, nothing brings people together faster than food, drink and laughter.

March 3, 2010 Playhouse Theatre Company's "The Love List" |
|
|
|
|
As official caterer to the Playhouse Theatre Company we are proud to annouce the start of a new production. "The Love List" - starring NORM FOSTER, PETER ANDERSON and CAILIN STADNYK, directed by MAX REIMER. What do you get a friend for a 50th birthday present? Well, if you're a guy, you buy him a "love list". Bill is to put to pen to paper and come up with a list of ten qualities that define the perfect women and according to the Gypsy where Leon made this dubious purchase, she will appear. After much collaboration the list is complete and much to their surprise, she appears. Bill's world is turned upside down as he learns more about himself, perfection and the pursuit of happiness.
At the Playhouse Theatre from Mar 6 - Apr 10, 2010. For more information or a complete list of the 2010 productions visit the Playhouse Theatre's website at www.vancouverplayhouse.com |

January 6, 2010 Peake of Catering during 2010 Winter Games |
|||
|
Peake of Catering would like to take this opportunity to thank all our customers for their continued patronage. As you are aware, the 2010 Winter Games are almost upon us and our beautiful city is preparing for an incredible experience. We are extremely happy and honoured to announce that we are the only Vancouver-based caterer to have been awarded a food service contract for a 2010 Winter Games competition venue. The venue in question is the Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Centre, located at Hillcrest Park, right next door to Nat Bailey Stadium. This venue will host the curling competition during the Olympic Games and a short time later the mixed wheelchair curling during the Paralympic Games.
From February 2 to February 28, 2010 we will be providing limited service in the Metro Vancouver area and to Downtown Vancouver (due to various road and time restrictions Downtown Vancouver will not always be accessible).
Between March 1 and March 21, 2010, we will still be involved with the Paralympics but to a lessor degree and do not expect as many restrictions.
Our limited service will be as follows: - We will require a 20 guest minimum on every order - Delivery orders must be received two weeks in advanced of required date - Staff events during this time need to be finalized by mid January - Ordering will be done from a set menu which we will post on-line
We appreciate your continued support and apologize for any forthcoming inconvenience. We will resume business as usual on March 22, 2010. Our expectations and hope however is to increase our service during the entire month of March.
If you have any questions or concerns please call our Sales and Event team at 604.872.8431
