Tis the Season to Celebrate — Let LaBonne's Handle the Food
May and June have a way of sneaking up on you. One minute you're thinking about spring, and the next you've got a graduation party, a Memorial Day cookout, a bridal shower, and a neighborhood get-together all stacked on top of each other. If you're the one hosting, that's a lot of food to think about.
Good news: you don't have to think about it alone. LaBonne's has been feeding Connecticut families since 1962, and our catering team is ready to make your celebration, whatever it is, one less thing to worry about.
Graduation Season is Here
Whether your grad is finishing high school, college, or anything in between, they deserve a party that feels special. And honestly? So do you. You've been planning, supporting, and cheering them on for years — the last thing you need is to spend the day of their party stuck in the kitchen.
LaBonne's catering has everything you need to feed a crowd without the stress. Start the party off right with our Jumbo Shrimp Platter, Caprese Skewers, or a spread of our Mini Pinwheel Wraps: they're colorful, crowd-pleasing, and perfect for grazing. For the main event, our a la carte menu offers a wide variety of main courses to choose from at half trays & full trays. Or keep things casual with a Giant Grinder — our 3- or 6-foot subs piled with over a pound of meat per foot are guaranteed to be a hit with the hungry crowd.
Don't forget the deli salads. Our potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw, and pasta salads are the kind of sides people fill their plates with twice.
Memorial Day, Backyard BBQs & Everything In Between
Summer entertaining season kicks off with Memorial Day weekend, and it doesn't really stop until Labor Day. If you're hosting a cookout, a pool party, or just a laid-back afternoon with friends, we've got the platters and sides to make it effortless.
Our wing platters: available in traditional, buffalo, BBQ, teriyaki, or ranch dry rub are all a natural fit for any backyard gathering. Pair them with a Fresh Fruit Platter, a Garden Vegetable Platter, and a few of our deli salads and you've got a full spread that looks like you put in way more effort than you did. For something heartier, our Barbecued Baby Back Ribs or Applewood Smoked Sliced Ham make a real impression.
Hosting something a little more elevated, a bridal shower, an anniversary, a stag? Our a la carte entrées like Chicken Francaise in a White Wine Lemon Sauce, Chicken Marsala, and Roasted Fresh Salmon Fillet bring a restaurant-quality feel without the restaurant hassle.
