Scotch Plains

Food made this morning,
delivered to Scotch Plains

Scotch Plains is on the far side of the Watchung Reservation, and most of our orders there are family events and team parties. Spring and early summer are the busy season, with communions, graduations and end of season parties back to back.

A classic Scotch Plains party order is a 6 foot sub, a full tray of chicken parmesan, a full tray of penne alla vodka and a big house salad. That comfortably feeds a backyard full of people.

Easily the best pastrami reuben I've ever had. The meat was outstanding and high quality. Girlfriend had the Italian and that was excellent too, better than their menu picture!
