Hosting should mean you're able to show up.

Hosting can cut you off from your guests.
Food shopping, prep, the meal and cleanup draw you away from your guests and yourself.
This makes it harder to truly spend time with them and enjoy.

Missing Your Event

Ever host and feel like you didn't know where the time went? Hosting can often make you feel like a ghost at your own event.

Missing The Day

Event meal prep can easily take a day or two, while bouncing around town. This makes it even harder for you to prepare.

Feeling The Heat

Clean up for small events happens during and after everyone leaves. Leaving you unable to take it all in.

Preparing Food

Your Guide to Great Meals

Chef Shawn Little

I love to be there for the people that I love. I also know that hosting isn’t always the easiest thing to do when you want to spend time with your guests (or don’t want to have to take the day to get it all prepared, made, taken care of, and cleaned).


As a 30-year native chef of Mystic, I bring insider secrets of Mystic area vendors for exceptional meals, and service, you and your guests deserve.

Serve A Taste of Mystic

Whenever possible, each meal is made of locally sourced ingredients from Mystic's Finest Vendors

Prepare For A Good Time. I'll Source, Prepare and Serve The Meal. (Clean Up Included)

With the demands of hosting, it’s easy to become a reluctant chef. Ditch your own pots and pans and become a Super Host for your next small event.

Enjoy your event, while finding time to delight and connect with your guests by getting private catering for your next intimate event.


Hosting has its advantages. You’re able to contribute to a great time, share with your guests and give them a memorable experience. Yet, cooking and serving on your own makes it hard to show up, contribute to the memories being made and causes you to lose out on the event.


As a professional chef, I love to make food for guests, but I also know how hard it is to focus on them at the same time.


With over 30 years as a Mystic native I’ll help deliver the best possible experience for your guests by opening up your meal to the greatest local vendors, expert recipes and professional presentation.


To make the day even easier, I’ll be there all the way through to clean up, making sure you can be there for your guests, and yourself, for as long as possible.


By the end of the day you’ll only be left with great memories, not a kitchen to clean.


Click here to fill out a short form to request catering for your next intimate Mystic area event. I’ll help create your menu and sort out the rest so you can enjoy your day, and your guests.

Request catering to get started.

Clear up your day and make planning this next event enjoyable, for you and your guests.


As someone who loves to host and serve the people I care about, I also ensure you don’t have a plus-one in the kitchen, so you can connect and share your time with the people that matter.


With expert preparation, local area vendors and clean up included, you can make sure your guests get the most memorable experience - and tastes - while you get to enjoy it too.
