Event Request

Haymaker runs a seasonal menu and is influenced on a daily basis by what is available locally. This approach assures the freshest food, the best flavors and the best value. When we plan your menu, we recommend a broad approach-choose the type of appetizer (i.e. salad, hot appetizer, soup), center-of-the plate selection for the entrée (beef, pork, seafood, etc.) and the dessert. The week of the event we will finalize the vegetables, garnishes and sauces. We will make every effort to provide the menu selections you have made. However, we reserve the right to substitute if the farm produce availability has affected menu selection.
