RUNDLES' FESTIVAL
CATERING SERVICE

Rundles has catered opening-night dinners for members of the board of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival and their guests; and gala dinners for convention delegates, business, professional, and philanthropic associations.

Rundles will cater for your group for a minimum of forty guests. You can choose from our luncheon or dinner menus, or we can provide special meals for you. Rundles' wine consultant will be available to assist you in selecting the wines to accompany your meal. Special decorating requirements can be met by consulting with Rundles' decorator. (Fees for special decorating will be billed separately.) Tables are beautifully set, and decorated with fresh flowers. Staff uniforms are designed by top Canadian fashion designers.
