Catering FAQ

What areas do you cater?

We cook in Woodland Hills and cater across the San Fernando Valley and Los Angeles, including Tarzana, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Calabasas, West Hills, Studio City and Beverly Hills. Farther out? Just ask.

Can you handle dietary restrictions?

Yes. Tell us about allergies and preferences and we will build vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes into the menu, labeled so guests know what they are eating.

How far ahead should I book?

Reach out as soon as you have a date. Full-service events need more lead time than drop-off orders, and November and December dates fill first.

Can we host our event at Prose Kitchen & Bar?

Yes. Our Woodland Hills dining room seats up to 25 guests or holds 100 standing for a full buyout, with family-style menus from $75 and plated dinners from $95 per guest.
