In terms of food, I highly recommend the pulled pork, and would go back just for this. The brisket and turkey were surprisingly dry and a little tough. The Mac and cheese was okay, but a little bland. Maybe I expected more flavor from the cheese being in Vermont. The sausage links tasted great, but I got a few hard pieces inside which ruined it for me.

It's been over two months since my wedding, and I'm still getting comments from friends and family…read moreon how incredible Barry's food was. Even the vegan commented that the cheddar and honey stuffed filo was incredible. When I first met Barry we asked about his accent - turns out he's from South Africa, in a region called Durban. That community is known for being very diverse in culture. He also spent time in California and, obviously, now lives in VT. As soon as he learned that my mother is Indian, but grew up in East Africa, and that both our families love a variety of foods the menu started planning itself. Bhajias, cheddar and honey stuffed filo, samosas, crab cakes, chicken satays - and that's just the appetizers! Each item was meaningful and mouth watering. Dinner was done buffet style. I was a bit concerned about the speed of this and how it would go over with guests (I think everyone loves being served). In the end, people could ask for extra of what they wanted, skip what they didn't, and some managed to get up for seconds. It worked perfectly. Dinner was a wine and herb mopped roast, peri peri style shrimp and scallop kebabs, salt potatoes (simple, but really well done), butternut polenta pie (vegan) and vermont mac and cheese (I regret not getting seconds on this - but as the groom I barely finished my plate) I'd go on about which items I like... but that would be a book - every thing was just perfect, fresh and really well done. The staff was also incredible. He hires a number of high school kids, and some alumni, for weddings. At first I was concerned, but then learned the local high school has a culinary program, so these kids aren't just trying to make a buck - this is what they want to do, and it really showed. Additionally, Barry wasn't exactly kicking back - it seemed like he was every where at once - prepping the buffet serving appetizers and some how I kept hearing his booming laugh as he interacted with guests who just had to stop him to tell him how great the thing they just ate was. The price was right in the middle of what I compared, but the quality, quantity and creativity of the menu put this as possibly the best wedding meal I've been to. (If I can say so myself). A few notes: Barry does not do bar service. If you need alcohol, you'll have to find another bar tender. I went with Phat Kats and was really happy. There was some question about how water would be served - but between Ohana, Barry and Phat Kats I didn't have to worry about it and it got done. Note: This review was for my June 2016 wedding at Camp Ohana in Fairlee VT

Nestled in the grounds of the lovely retreat, Gather offers a small but well refined menu. Located outdoors, lawn-side candlelit tables ring 2 fire pits. These have comfy chairs for enjoying a pre-dinner cocktail. The atmosphere is classy and casual with friendly hosts and severs who take time to answer menu questions and be sure you have what you would like. With a full bar, vast wine and beer list featuring local selections, and a variety of non-alcoholic beverage options, there is something for everyone. Our meal began with a flavor packed broth soup, featuring lemon, parsley, chicken and rice. The hearty portion was perfect for 3 to share. Next came the salads: baby greens with pickled onions and homemade vinaigrette, and rubbed kale with cranberries and nuts. Delicious! The swordfish main is crafted with an amazing balance of sweet blueberry sauce and a touch of cayenne to make the flavors pop. The chicken dish featured a tasty glaze and features grilled lemon, a surprise twist. Both mains were served with a veggie side and atop smashed potatoes- creamy and flavorful, and with lots of texture. Dinner was capped by the featured dessert, blueberry lemon panna cotta. So smooth, creamy, and heavenly! Just the right amount of citrusy syrup to complement the richness. Gather features fresh and local ingredients. This family owned and run restaurant is one of many endeavors Lisa and Jonathan Burr have successfully fully created. You will not be disappointed with your Gather dining experience!

We want to share our experience with The Roving Feast so other couples know what to expect. We…read moreworked with 7 other wedding vendors, all of whom received glowing, five-star reviews from us. Unfortunately, this caterer was the one vendor that caused constant stress and frustration and turned what should have been a fun planning process into a 7 month-long headache. While the food itself was delicious and the on-site staff were friendly, that's where the positives end. From the start, communication was slow, disorganized, and full of errors. We requested two in-person meetings to clear up repeated mistakes, and both times were promised updated proposals within a few days. Instead, they arrived 3-4 weeks later, only after multiple follow-up emails and phone calls. We didn't even receive our final invoice until 11 a.m. on our wedding day. Food & Service: We were charged for four servers but only had two. Guests had to refill their own water carafes and even serve themselves salad on what was supposed to be a staffed buffet, and this was at the direction of the owner! Dessert was never served, and we ended up cleaning up leftover food, garbage, and bottles the next morning. Unlike every other vendor we worked with that day, who checked in upon arrival and throughout the evening to ensure everything was going smoothly, the owner never checked in with us at all. Bar Service: We were told we'd be invoiced after the wedding based on the number and types of drinks actually consumed. Instead, we were charged six hours before the event for a predetermined number of drinks at the highest price tier on her menu. The bar also closed 30 minutes earlier than we paid for, something we only discovered when the bride went to order a drink and was told everything had already been packed up. We also were told we would have two VTLCB-certified bartenders but only had one. When we questioned it, the owner admitted that the third food server had been pulled to work the bar, which meant an unlicensed individual was serving alcohol to our guests. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner sent a series of aggressive, accusatory emails demanding immediate payment while acknowledging errors on her end. When the groom called her to discuss corrections, she apologized for her tone and agreed to send an updated invoice. He even offered to pay for the services the servers had already provided as an act of good faith so she wouldn't be delayed in receiving payment, but she declined the offer. What followed were multiple hostile emails filled with false claims and personal accusations, including that we distributed more drink tickets than we paid for, a claim disproven by her own photo and our accurate count. Her behavior after the event was shocking, combative, dishonest, and deeply unprofessional. We've since reported our experience to the venue that lists her as a preferred caterer so future couples are aware. It's so disappointing because every other vendor we worked with was wonderful, responsive, and kind. We wish this had been the same experience here. If you value transparency, honesty, and respectful communication, please take this as a serious warning. The Roving Feast misrepresents its services, is evasive about pricing, and treats clients defensively and disrespectfully when questioned. It was, without exaggeration, the most stressful part of our wedding.

The bride and groom selected EBC almost two years in advance of their wedding date. They were thrilled with the tasting and the opportunity to help a young couple starting out in business. Given the horrific experience we had this past Saturday I can only assume the half of the couple responsible for early positive reviews flew the coop- and took responsibility, attention to detail and professionalism with her. EBC showed up well over an hour late with cold food. Guests were hungry. EBC did not bring the contracted silverware, plates or two of the side dishes. Andy, the innkeeper had to scramble to find forks and paper plates for guests to eat with. DJ Nick had to rearrange timing of the speeches to fill in the dead time and distract hungry guests. He felt so bad for what happened to us he stayed late so guests could get the "dancing time" that was stolen by delayed food service. EBC blamed their late arrival time and other failures on miscommunication and Devon having a "bad night" with a "Bridezilla" the prior evening. The very delayed cocktail "charcuterie board" had all the elegance of a greasy Walmart cold cut platter and not enough food was provided. Sharon had to assemble a salad to get something to still hungry guests. The venue does not allow kitchen access. This was clearly communicated to EBC during the contract phase. The bride and groom were assured no kitchen at the venue was no problem- the food would be made in advance, kept warm in commercial hot boxes and arrive ready to serve. EBC arrived at the venue not only very late but with cold food . Once again Andy came to the rescue. He graciously allowed EBC to use the oven in his kitchen. The food, once served was average at best; the only tasty dish was the pork. Devon's mother approached me, the MOB, during the reception while they were packing up to leave. I thought she was going to apologize. She asked for a tip. I was stunned. I did not want to make a scene in front of guests. I calmly explained that a gratuity was built into the contract- which it was and the contract was paid in full- which it was. She became aggressive and argued that the contract did not include a tip and it was customary and expected. They did not get another "tip". EBC was provided with all relevant contact information well in advance of the wedding: the venue, the DJ, the bar service and coordinator. The groom followed up prior to paying the balance and confirmed details. EBC never contacted the venue, the bar service or DJ. They responded once to multiple communication attempts by Sharon- after the balance was paid- with a text from Devon confirming EBC's arrival time. If you have a contract with EBC for an upcoming wedding or event- I am sorry. Do not pay the balance in advance of service. I would also have a very robust back-up plan.
