Planning Meals for Groups & Corporate Retreats
Our farmhouse features a large fully equipped kitchen – perfect if you're bringing in a private chef, handling meals yourself, or coordinating with catering partners. The kitchen accommodates all kinds of meal prep needs, from team breakfast spreads to multi-course corporate dinners.
For catered corporate events or weddings, we can put you in touch with Ontario catering services familiar with rural venue logistics. Give us advance notice (typically 48-72 hours minimum) and we'll connect you with partners who can handle groups from 15 to 100 people.
Many teams use a hybrid approach – catered dinners for the full group, plus breakfast ingredients and lunch supplies they prepare using our kitchen facilities. This keeps costs reasonable while maintaining the "retreat" feel.
Our Farmhouse Kitchen
The farmhouse kitchen handles everything from weekend family breakfasts to corporate chef-prepared dinners. You'll have the space and equipment needed for serious meal preparation – multiple people can work comfortably without bumping elbows.
Outdoor cooking? We've got you covered there too, with areas suitable for BBQ cookouts and campfire cooking during warmer months.
Glamping dome kitchenettes work well for coffee, light breakfasts, and simple snacks. For larger meals, most dome guests lean on delivery, takeout, or restaurant visits.
Guest Tips for Dining Success
Order delivery early - rural routes mean longer wait times, especially Friday-Saturday
Winter visitors: Some restaurants reduce hours November-March; call ahead
Large groups: Give restaurants 24-48 hours’ notice for better service
Current info: Restaurant hours, menus, and ownership can change – we track what's happening locally and share updates when you book
Questions About Dining Options?
Planning meals is part of planning your retreat. Whether you need restaurant recommendations for your travel dates, want to discuss catering partners, or have questions about our kitchen facilities, we're here to help.
Dietary Accommodations
Most area restaurants can accommodate common dietary needs with advance notice – vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options exist. For specialized requirements (strict vegan, severe allergies, religious dietary laws), we recommend bringing key ingredients and using our kitchen facilities where you control the preparation.
The farmhouse kitchen comes equipped for serious cooking – full-size appliances, cookware, prep space, and storage. Glamping dome kitchenettes handle light meal prep. Both options give you flexibility when restaurant menus don't quite match your needs.
Grocery Shopping
Before arriving: Most guests stock up in Peterborough (about 45 minutes away) where you'll find major supermarkets with organic and specialty options. Grab your main groceries there, then enjoy your retreat without worrying about supply runs.
Marmora basics: A small local grocery covers forgotten items and last-minute needs. For serious meat selections, there's a butcher shop in nearby Madoc.
Seasonal farm stands pop up along Highway 7 during growing season – fresh corn, berries, and vegetables when available. These are hit-or-miss depending on timing, but worth watching for.
