Turkish food has a way of working at any table. It's flavourful enough to feel special, familiar enough that even picky eaters find something they like, and hearty enough that nobody leaves hungry. If you're planning an event in Surrey and you want catering that goes beyond the standard chicken-and-rice rotation, Turkish cuisine is a strong choice.
Last Summer Catering specializes in Turkish and Mediterranean cooking. Our kitchen is halal-only, our recipes draw from authentic Turkish culinary traditions, and we've been feeding families and events across Surrey and Metro Vancouver since day one. Whether you're hosting a small dinner gathering or a 300-person celebration, we bring the same quality to every event.
Our menu covers the range of Turkish cuisine that works best in a catering format:
Grilled Meats: Adana kebab, chicken shish, lamb chops, kofte, and mixed grill platters. All grilled in-house with proper seasoning and technique.
Rice and Grains: Saffron pilaf with dried fruits and almonds, herbed bulgur, and buttered orzo.
Stews and Mains: Slow-braised lamb, Turkish-style bean stew (kuru fasulye), stuffed peppers and grape leaves (dolma), and eggplant-based dishes like imam bayildi.
Mezze and Appetizers: Hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, ezme salad, cacik (yogurt cucumber dip), sigara boregi (cheese rolls), and fresh Turkish bread.
Desserts: Baklava, kunefe, Turkish rice pudding (sutlac), and seasonal fruit platters.
Beverages: Traditional Turkish tea service, ayran, and fresh lemonade.
We also offer our pre-built packages: the Classic Turkish Buffet and the Grilled Favourites Buffet.
Weddings and walima dinners. Eid celebrations and iftar gatherings. Birthday parties and family reunions. Corporate lunches and team events. Community masjid events. Engagement parties and bridal showers. Graduation celebrations.
The format is flexible — buffet, plated, family-style, or drop-off platters. We adjust based on your venue, headcount, and preferences.
Turkish cuisine hits a sweet spot for mixed crowds. It's halal by tradition, which matters for Muslim families. But it also appeals broadly — Mediterranean flavours, grilled meats, fresh salads, and warm bread are universally liked. You don't have to worry about half your guests not eating because the food is too niche or unfamiliar.
It also scales well. A Turkish buffet spread looks impressive whether you're serving 30 people or 300. The dishes hold temperature well, present beautifully on a buffet line, and offer enough variety that every guest finds multiple things they enjoy.
We're based in Surrey and cater events across all of Metro Vancouver: Langley, Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, New Westminster, White Rock, and Abbotsford.
Turkish catering pricing depends on guest count, menu selections, and service level. Buffet packages for groups of 50+ generally start around $30-$50 per person. Platter-only orders are priced per item.
