Additional Food Options for Your NoCo Hive Event

Many local caterers have proven to provide quality, reliability, and exceptional service. However, 

having your NoCo Hive event catered is not your only option. When you book our Fort Collins event space, you’ll have access to a fully-stocked, modern kitchen complete with appliances, cookware, dishes, serving utensils, and just about all of the gadgets you would ever need. This gives you even more choices for customizing your event to meet your unique preferences and budget.

Restaurant Delivery

Restaurant delivery is a convenient option for providing food at a private event, allowing hosts to serve their guests a variety of cuisines from their favorite local establishments. This service eliminates the need for self-preparation while accommodating dietary restrictions and individual preferences with ease. Nosh NOCO is a popular choice and the only local restaurant-owned food delivery service in Northern Colorado!

Hire a Private Chef   

Hiring a private chef brings an elevated dining experience to any private event. This option can add restaurant-quality sophistication to your gathering, and the chef can curate a menu to match your event's theme or desired vibe. It has the added benefit of minimal cleanup so you can interact more with your guests without having to worry about the food preparation and serving. 

Do the Cooking Yourself

For those who enjoy cooking and sharing their own food, doing the cooking yourself is a fulfilling 

option. This allows you to showcase your culinary skills and potentially save some money. Depending on the type of event you’re hosting, you may even want to have your guests participate. For instance, hosting a family gathering where each person makes their own signature dish can be a fun, cost-saving option. However, you’ll want to keep in mind that this option requires careful planning and time management, and if you don’t want the act of preparing food to be the main focus of your gathering, you’re probably better off choosing one of the other stress-free options.
