“Being a MENSCH is the benchmark for every decision that we make. The farmers who grow the ingredients we use, the vendors we work alongside, the niche producers that we highlight and our chefs and servers who bring your vision to life – they are all people of integrity & honesty. We all hold the same standards. Being a Mensch is what we strive for every day.”

Our Values

Mensch kitchen and catering is centred in, but not limited to the Cowichan valley. Our first priority is what’s on the plate and we have the experience and care to ensure we exceed your expectations. For over 10 years we’ve been creating memorable food served with thoughtfulness and compassion. Every event we cater contributes to our efforts in cultivating a circular economy and strengthening community resilience. Following our values has translated into both a superior product and strong ties to our community.

Sustainability

The way our food is produced matters to us. We work with local farmers in the Vancouver Island community who employ regenerative practices; giving back to the land, and creating high quality products while keeping their footprint small.
