WHY choose PAVIA for your luncheon?

PAVIA is proud to source as locally and as sustainably as possible. Unlike many other local restaurants and catering companies, not only are we local, but we source local, too!  This means that when you choose PAVIA - Catering you can feel good knowing that you are investing in many amazing local suppliers. From the incredible ham and bacon in our sandwiches from Meadowbrook Farms, right down to the  free-range eggs from Coldspring Farms that go into so many of our delicious baked goods; if we can get it near home, we do! This means that in some cases we may cost a bit more than other catering companies, but our prices are based on the prices of our suppliers. If you would like to learn more about any of our product suppliers, check out the LOCAL/SUSTAINABLE link on our website!
