Getting to know LP and their catering services

Named after a radio show that ran from the 1930's through the mid 50's, Let's Pretend opened in 1985 and quickly garnered a reputation for playful event designs and decor.  

Daniel Samson and Liane Mendez took over ownership in 2004 and aspired to bring food and service to the forefront along with event design. They continue to be an integral part of the day to day business through daily kitchen prep, emails and phone calls, and being on site at events.  Their focus on quality food, attention to detail, and love of catering has kept Let's Pretend one of the top rated caterers in Vermont. 

Vermont is so much more than beautiful landscapes.  We are fortunate to have the support of so many incredible farmers and food producers to make the farm to table experience possible for our clients. 

A few of our regular suppliers include: Shelburne Farms, Pomykala Farms, Savage Gardens, Digger's Mirth, King Arthur Flour, Cabot Creamery, Green Mountain Creamery, Misty Knoll Farms, Boyden Farms, Funj Shrooming, VT Apiaries and Sandy Bottom Farms.  

The hospitality industry is known for producing excessive amounts of waste.  To remain a top rated caterer, the LP team is constantly evaluating their systems and products to help reduce waste.  

Let's Pretend Catering has been offering the farm to table experience years before it was a movement. We source local and regional ingredients and use only seafood that is sourced from sustainable practices. Our disposable products are recyclable or compostable and food waste is composted.  We arrange carpools to get our teams to and from long distance events and we love the challenge of helping clients create a zero waste event.

It is important that you feel good about the company you hire for your event.  We are always grateful to be one of the top rated caterers in Vermont.  We do very little advertising and depend heavily on word of mouth referrals.  Here are a few ways to check out our catering services...
