Our Legacy

Over 25 years at the heart of St. John's celebrations.

For over 25 years, Fireside Catering has fed the moments that matter across St. John's, Mount Pearl, Paradise, Conception Bay South and Torbay — wedding receptions, celebrations of life, company gatherings, birthdays and house parties where the food is the reason people stay a little longer.

Scale has never been a reason to cut corners. Fireside is the caterer behind the annual Lobster Fest, one of the region's hallmark community events, and caters year after year at five of the metro area's best-known venues. We have catered everything from a 35-guest dinner party to a 950-guest graduation, and our commitment to exceptional food and outstanding service has earned us the Consumer Choice Award for six years.

Through it all, our cooking stays rooted in place: we are committed to local Newfoundland and Labrador ingredients, prepared with care and served with the warmth this province is known for.
