Feeding Your Gathering: Food at Enchanted
One of the questions I know we are going to get asked most is: “What about food?”
And honestly? It’s one of my favourite parts to talk about, because you have so much freedom here.
The beautiful thing about Enchanted is that it’s fully self-catering - which means you can bring in all your own food, cook up your favourite dishes, and do things exactly your way. The kitchen is yours. The pace is yours. If you want to spend the morning making pancakes in your pyjamas or lite up the fire pit at sunset and cook sausages over the open flame, go for it. There’s something really special about gathering in a kitchen with the people you love, cooking together, laughing over who’s in charge of the salad.
And if cooking isn’t part of your plan? That’s wonderful too. The West Coast has some truly wonderful food people - the kind who care deeply about what they make and love being part of someone’s special day.
We’re still building our list of recommended caterers and suppliers (it’s a bit of a work in progress, to be honest they are all so busy gearing up for the silly season), but we’re being thoughtful about it. We want to connect you with people whose food we’d genuinely be excited to eat ourselves - bakers who get up at dawn to shape sourdough, growers who know their land inside out, cooks who can turn simple ingredients into something memorable.
Here’s the kind of thing we’re talking about:
• Grazing tables - gorgeous spreads with local cheeses, charcuterie, warm bread, roasted nuts, olives, fresh and dried fruit, and something sweet tucked in
• Fresh, seasonal salads - think edible flowers, heirloom greens, herb-heavy dressings that taste like they were made an hour ago (because they were)
• Handmade goodness - tortillas, sandwiches, savoury tarts, the kind of food that’s easy to share and hard to stop eating
• Sweet treats - rustic cakes, lemony slices, desserts that feel celebratory but not fussy
Want a relaxed grazing setup? A sit-down meal? A mix of homemade and catered? Something in between? We’ll help you figure out what fits your vibe and your budget, and connect you with the right people to make it happen.
Some suppliers are already part of our little community here, others we’re still folding in. But what they all have in common is care - for their craft, for the Coast, and for making your gathering feel nourished in every sense.
So whether you’re chopping vegetables together in the kitchen or having everything beautifully delivered - your table here will be exactly what you want it to be. And when you’re ready to start planning, we’ll be here to help with our best recommendations.
