 I'm Alexandra Teare, the proprietor of 24 Carrot Catering. I started 24 Carrot Catering 14 years ago to share my passion and love for fine cuisine with you and it is this passion that drives the company and I believe it shows in all of our products and services. 6 years ago Melissa Hamilton and I joined forces to create Carrot on the Run Gourmet Deli to fill a need in the Nanaimo market.
 We hope you find this site useful and inspiring. If you have an event coming up, feel free to preview the Menus and/or send me your info through the Interest Form provided. And I always enjoy your feedback and/or questions. At 24 Carrot Catering, we continue our commitment to you with lots of creative cooking ideas for your palettes and recipe boxes.
Our corporate clients include shopping malls, department stores, accounting firms, financial institutions, schools, colleges, medical establishments, bus tours, contractors, movies, governments and theatres. As you will see, the functions that we can accommodate are as diverse as our list of clients.
We are proud to have won 'Best of the City' in Nanaimo for the last few years running.
Our mainstay is the Working Lunch, often a platter of sandwiches, all made with fresh homestyle breads and a variety of fillings. For example, imagine having curried egg roll-ups with a touch of mango chutney and sliced peaches for your lunch. We often finish off the lunch platter with fresh vegetables and a creative dip. Complete your lunch with a slice of our famous carrot cake, moist and decadent with cream cheese icing and accompanied by a selection of fresh fruit. Working breakfasts can be as simple as muffins, scones and a coffee, or as elaborate as frittata, hashbrowns and sausages.
Social or business events often use our Hor's D'oeuvres menu which caters to the fussiest of palettes. Or for something more daring, how about a Thai sushi roll filled with mango, roasted cashews and gourmet greens with a Sake and ginger dipping sauce? We can deliver the product for your presentation and hosting or we can manage the whole catering operation, including bartenders and extra serving staff if required.
The size of a function is not an issue for 24 Carrot Catering. For example, we catered the BC Bike Race with 700 for dinner and breakfast; and also provided plate service for 600 at a political function.
As you can probably guess, Christmas is a very busy time of year for 24 Carrot Catering. We strive to make the Christmas menu unique, creative, varied and memorable. Locations without kitchens do not pose a problem, as we prepare the dishes in our commercial kitchen prior to delivery. Some of our favorite private events include weddings, christenings, retirements, reunions, funerals, summer parties, cocktail parties, anniversaries and birthdays.
We have a variety of pricing options with our menus. If you wish full table service, several venues or meals or just something slightly different, we can rise to the challenge. Sometimes our clients choose a theme for an event. Our focus is on creatively incorporating global cuisine into dishes to produce a unique west-coast style experience.
Our clients can be assured of our professionalism and creativity and they commonly remark on how they are able to relax and enjoy the party. A good impression is always important, so we leave the kitchen at all of our venues shiny and spotless.
Contact us with any questions and feel free to send us your comments before you leave the site. And thanks again for stopping by!
