How Our Mobile Catering Works
We keep it simple so you can enjoy your event. Renee’s Kitchen is catering-only — no dine-in, no restaurant. We bring the kitchen to you or prepare hot, ready pickup trays from our mobile operation in Williamsport.
A Simple 3-Step Process
1) Tell us about your event.
Share your date (or best estimate), headcount range, location, and occasion. We regularly serve Williamsport, Philadelphia, Scranton, Lock Haven, and surrounding communities across Central and Eastern Pennsylvania.
2) Pick your service style.
Choose pickup, dropoff, full-service buffet, or full-service plated. From budget-friendly trays to elevated plated dinners, we match the service to your guests and your space.
3) We bring the kitchen to you and serve your guests.
On event day, we arrive on time with hot, ready soul food and BBQ. For on-site BBQ, we fire up the grill at your location and handle setup, service, and breakdown so you can focus on being present.
