Serving Chevy Chase

Charcuterie in Chevy Chase.

One of America's first streetcar suburbs, and still one of its most polished — office towers at Friendship Heights, a Pope-designed mansion on forty wooded acres, and Connecticut Avenue homes built to host.

The town

About Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase was planned before it was built. In 1890, Francis Newlands' Chevy Chase Land Company began buying up more than 1,700 acres of Maryland farmland north of the District, extended Connecticut Avenue across the line, and ran an electric streetcar up the middle of it — the first cars reached Chevy Chase Lake in 1892. The name is older still: a 305-acre patent called Cheivy Chace, granted to Colonel Joseph Belt in 1725 and named, at several removes, for a 1388 hunting raid in the Cheviot Hills of the Scottish border.

What grew along the avenue was not one town but a cluster of small municipalities — Chevy Chase Village, the Town of Chevy Chase, Sections 3 and 5, Martin's Additions — each with its own council, most with their own Fourth of July parade, and all with fiercely kept streets of Colonial Revivals and shingled foursquares under century-old oaks. Chevy Chase Village regularly tops the lists of Maryland's wealthiest places, and it looks the part without ever saying so.

At either end, the suburb turns urban. Friendship Heights, where Wisconsin Avenue crosses the District line, is a Metro stop ringed by office towers, luxury storefronts and high-rise residences; Chevy Chase Lake, at the old streetcar terminus, is being rebuilt around a Purple Line station. Between them sits the quietest kind of affluence — and a hosting calendar that runs from office receptions and board lunches to Woodend weddings and the Village holiday party.

Local knowledge

Where Chevy Chase gathers.

Where Chevy Chase gathers — the office corridor, the sanctuary, the clubs and the market street:

The Wisconsin Avenue office and retail corridor at the District line — Metro-served towers, The Collection's luxury storefronts, and the town-hall, board-lunch and client-reception calendar that comes with them.

Forty wooded acres off Beltway exit 33 around a 1927 Georgian Revival mansion by John Russell Pope — Nature Forward's home, and one of the region's most sought-after lawns for weddings and corporate evenings.

Chevy Chase Club (1892) and Columbia Country Club (1898) sit a short run apart on the avenue — two of the oldest in the country, and the ballrooms behind a great many local milestones.

The village-scale market street — Brookville Market, La Ferme, and New Morning Farm's Saturday farmers market at Taylor Street — Chevy Chase's Main Street in all but name.

The Chevy Chase calendar.

The Chevy Chase year:

July 4
Independence Day parades

Nearly every section throws its own: the Town's picnic and parade at the Lawton Center, Section 5's fire-engine parade down Williams Lane, the Village's along its streets — and the Chevy Chase Club's fireworks after dark.

May–October
Wedding season at Woodend

Tented ceremonies and receptions on the mansion lawn, spring through fall — the dates that book earliest here.

Year-round
Saturday farmers market

New Morning Farm at Taylor Street and Brookville Road, every Saturday morning, rain or shine — the town's weekly gathering.

October & December
Village Halloween & holiday parties

Chevy Chase Village's costume parade and haunted house, then the holiday party — the bookends of the home-hosting season, when Friendship Heights offices want the same December weekends.

The run from Gambrills

How we serve Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase is about forty-five minutes from our Gambrills kitchen — up Route 50 and around the Beltway to exit 33 — and since boards and tables book days ahead, the distance is never the constraint. For the Friendship Heights office, we work to the building: loading dock, security desk, elevator booking, delivery window — and the cups and boxes arrive portioned, labelled and ready to hand out.

For the Woodend wedding, the club anniversary or the Connecticut Avenue living room, the grazing table is built on site and styled to the room — finished, photographed and full before the first guest rings the bell.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you serve?+

We serve Annapolis, Crofton, Odenton, Severna Park, Bethesda, Bowie, Chevy Chase, Davidsonville, Glenn Dale, Mitchellville, Upper Marlboro, Washington DC and Northern Virginia. Somewhere else? Tell us where — we'll tell you honestly whether we can reach you.

How much does it cost?+

Everything is priced per person, starting at $15 for individual cups & boxes, $19 for charcuterie boards, $25 for grazing tables, and $30 for the staffed cart. Delivery, styling, setup and cleanup are included — there's no separate service charge. Tell us your date and guest count and we'll come back with a firm number, usually the same day.

How much food do I need?+

Plan on 5–7 bites per guest when guests are grazing and mingling, and 8–10 when the graze stands in for a meal — that's why our mealtime portions run about half as much food again. The sizing calculator above works it out for you, or tell us your headcount and we'll size it honestly.

Can you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?+

Yes. Every menu is customizable, and dietary requirements are portioned and labelled separately so nothing gets mixed up. Tell us what your guests need — no pork, nut-free, vegetarian — and we'll build the board around it.

What's included in the price?+

Delivery, styling, on-site setup and cleanup are always included. Grazing tables are built on site and sized to your final guest count, leftovers are boxed for you, and the cart is staffed and bottomless for your 2-hour service window.

Is there a minimum guest count?+

Minimums apply to grazing tables and the mobile cart. For smaller gatherings, boards and cups scale down beautifully — from a single signature board up. Tell us your date and headcount and we'll recommend the right format.

How far in advance should I book?+

Weekend dates in wedding season and the November–December stretch fill first. Checking your date takes about a minute and there's no obligation — we come back with a firm quote, usually the same day.

What happens on the day of my event?+

We arrive early, set up before your guests do, and style everything fresh on site. If you've booked the cart, we serve for your window and clear everything away after. You show up and enjoy your own party.
