Most everyone in Charlottesville knows that the Horse & Hound Gastropub on West Main Street is an ideal spot for a great sandwich or an intimate dinner. They also know of the great selection of wins and beers available and the delicious culinary creations from Chef Luther Fedora. But many are not aware that the Horse & Hound is a top choice for special events and for catering.
“We do a lot of custom catering for weddings, corporate events, cocktail parties, and graduation events offsite in the venue of our clients’ choosing,” said Brooke Fedora. “And here at the Horse & Hound, we also have a great facility for parties at the restaurant such as rehearsal dinners, birthday parties, reunions and special occasions.
“Our convenient location makes a great spot for everything from casual get-togethers to large departmental parties,” said Chef Luther. “We can customize a menu to accommodate just about any size group.”
Brooke agrees.
“We love small, intimate holiday parties and family dinners. And our signature cakes are really delicious,” she remarked. “But this place comes alive for large department parties and rehearsal dinners. We just really enjoy celebrations and love knowing that we can help make them more memorable.”
Brooke also notes that the spring and summer schedule is already booking up with weddings, rehearsal dinners, bachelorette parties and graduation functions.
Plus, the catering service from Horse & Hound has really taken off.
“Catering is just a natural extension of what we do best,” Brooke stated. “If you can’t come to us, then we are happy to come to you.” Brooke also notes how hard they work to customize and create your perfect event from an intimate baby shower to a large elegant wedding.
And if it’s value you are looking for in your food and drink, Horse & Hound is your kind of place.
“We offer happy hour Tuesdays through Sundays from 5 to 7 PM,” Brooke pointed out. ”And every Thursday is ‘Thirsty Thursday’ with drink specials from 5-9, and $2 baskets of hushpuppies, French fries and onion rings.”
Specials throughout the week at Horse & Hound include dishes such as Burger & Mash, Shepherd’s Pie, corned Beef & Cabbage and Smoked & Slow Roasted Ribs – a Horse & Hound Specialty
