TWO CHEFS AND A TABLE NAMED OFFICIAL CATERER AT BOWEN ISLAND LODGE
The Bowen Island Lodge recently completed a full set of renovations which have added modern comfort and convenience to this piece of West coast beachfront paradise. With new décor and furnishings throughout and superb linens and duvets in every room, the Bowen Island Lodge offers a rejuvenating escape from the day-to-day hustle just a short distance from Vancouver. It’s easily accessible from Vancouver by ferry, water taxi, floatplane or by private charter on the Mir Havoc, the Lodge’s 48’ Sea Ray Sun Dancer yacht.
Along with the physical renovation, the Bowen Island Lodge has revamped all its operations and is pleased to announce the appointment of award-winning Vancouver catering experts Two Chefs and a Table as official caterer. Offering both la carte menus and fully custom catering, Bowen Island Lodge and Two Chefs and a Table will be able to accommodate the needs of any audience or event.
Two Chefs and a Table is led by Allan Bosomworth and Karl Gregg who, between them, have decades of front and back of house experience in fine dining and superior high volume environments. Their country-kitchen style catering bistro has helped put their emerging Railtown neighbourhood on the downtown food map. Allan and Karl have a successful record of menu development, catering and kitchen management across events and establishments in the Lower Mainland and the Interior.
Two Chefs and a Table has successfully catered events from intimate in-home dinners to preparing all the trade and backstage meals at the Juno awards—a total of 9000 meals in only 3 days. Their innovative and appealing menus are built from the bounty of fresh locally-sourced ingredients that BC has to offer with an emphasis on seasonality, sustainability. Whether it’s a hearty satisfying menu for weekend of hiking on Bowen’s extensive trail network or most complex menus for weddings and other celebrations, Two Chefs and a Table will prepare the perfect meal with flair, passion and precision
Bowen Island Lodge was recently acquired by Derek Trethewey, a 3rd generation British Columbian and entrepreneur who also owns and runs two successful lodge resorts in the BC Interior. Like the Cove Lakeside Resort in Kelowna and the Outback Lakeside Resort in Vernon, the Bowen Island Lodge offers guests the best of BC. Bowen Island Lodge is set on three acres of waterfront property including a private beach with views back across Howe Sound to the Lions and the magnificent peaks of Sea-to-Sky country.
