Who prepares the food at Wellfleet Preservation Hall?

WPH does not provide catering, however, we maintain a close working relationship with several full-service caterers who are intimately familiar with the layout and flow of events in the Hall including our fully equipped commercial kitchen. Each of these caterers has a reputation for providing high quality food and excellent service. We believe that you will be able to meet or even exceed your expectations by using one of the caterers on our list. If, however, you have an existing relationship with another caterer, we will be happy to meet with them regarding your reception.
