NECHUNG DORJE DRAYANG LING

TEMPLE CATERING SERVICE

The temple has an excellent food catering service for groups who use the retreat facility for two and more days. Our staff has had years of experience catering for temple programs, serving delicious, wholesome meals to thousands of retreat participants and visitors. We use natural, high quality products, organic grains, legumes and produce - including island grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. The cuisine is vegetarian, with an international flavor, low fat and sodium. Fish and chicken will be served in selected meals if requested. Meals will be according to the temple menu and are served buffet style.

Meal planning, shopping, a main cook and assistant(s), and food expenses are all included. Cost per day depends on the number of participants in the program:

eg.  If retreat begins with dinner, the 3rd meal will be lunch the following day.  

* 50% of the cost will be needed 30 days prior to the beginning of scheduled program with an estimated number of participants.  The balance of the total cost is due before group departure.

*Due to the extra time and individual preparation given to special food requests, an additional service fee of $10 a day will be charged for each person with special needs.

*Cleanup, dishes, and other kitchen duties in the retreat center kitchen will be done by the participants of the program.

The temple offers an excellent catering service with a Fusion theme, served buffet style.
