Great businesses form the backbone of any community. Spice Hospitality Group, Ohio’s only caterer with both extensive fine-dining expertise and deep-seated relationships with regional farmers, is changing the way Northeast Ohio enjoys catered experiences.
Better Health and a Vibrant Community
Spice is not your typical catering business. With a strong commitment to promoting better health and vibrant communities, Spice goes above and beyond to incorporate its vision into every aspect of its services. Its values of “We Before Me,” “Always Learning” and “Trust and Respect” are not just empty words but the guiding principles that shape the company’s culture. By hiring and promoting based on these values, Spice ensures that its team is dedicated to constant improvement, always striving to turn good moments into unforgettable experiences.
Spice’s commitment to excellence doesn’t stop at its team. The sourcing of ingredients is a meticulous process, with a focus on supporting local farmers and purveyors. As a “from scratch” kitchen, Spice understands the intimate connection between the quality of ingredients, the work environment, and the final result on the plate. Each dish crafted by the team is a reflection of their pride and commitment to their craft.
By creating an environment where team members come first, Spice ensures that every event they cater is infused with passion and dedication. There’s no compromise on quality, as the team’s daily commitment to excellence keeps them accountable to each other and their work. Coupled with their attention to detail, this focus on fostering a great work environment ripples out into the communities where Spice team members reside. Through their work, Spice has nurtured and inspired individuals to become business owners, teachers, chefs and leaders. It’s not just about serving great food; it’s about creating a positive impact that reaches far beyond the dining room. Spice Hospitality Group is a catering business with a purpose, and they are transforming the way we experience food, one event at a time.
Doing Food Differently
Spice’s concept of “doing food differently” is always on display at Topography, the Cuyahoga Valley Conservancy fundraiser. This extraordinary annual gathering of 450 people takes place at the stunning Virginia Kendall Ledges; creating a culinary experience in such a unique setting allows Spice to showcase their innovative approach. From the cocktail reception, with a full bar and charcuterie boards suspended along a rock wall, to a ¼-mile hike featuring appetizer stations along the trail, Spice integrates the natural environment seamlessly into the dining experience. Family-style dinner in the field, dessert, live music and even camping round out this unforgettable evening.
With their ability to push the boundaries of culinary experiences and their commitment to using local ingredients in harmony with the natural surroundings, Spice Headquarters continues to redefine what catering can be.
What Sets Spice Apart
Spice stands out among other caterers by virtue of their strong commitment to sourcing locally and using seasonal ingredients. While many competitors prioritize convenience or cost, Spice goes the extra mile to support local farmers and producers. By doing so, they not only contribute to the local economy but also reduce their environmental impact. Sourcing locally means fresher ingredients, enhanced flavor and a unique dining experience for their customers. From making everything from scratch to offering onsite cooking, Spice is dedicated to delivering exceptional food and service. Their reputation for offering the best special-event food and service in the region is a testament to their commitment to quality.
And that commitment extends beyond the walls of the kitchen. Spice Hospitality Group is deeply involved in nonprofit work through Spice Field Kitchen, impacting schools in Northeast Ohio and nurturing future community and environmental advocates. This sister nonprofit organization provides educational opportunities and immersive experiences for people of all ages. From farm tours to mobile-garden and kitchen immersions, Spice is passionate about connecting people with the sources of their food and fostering a deeper understanding of sustainable practices. Additionally, Spice’s Plated Landscapes events take guests on a culinary journey through beloved local landscapes, including their own farm, Spice Acres, located in the scenic Cuyahoga Valley National Park. These multi-course, wine-paired dinners offer a unique opportunity to savor exceptional cuisine while surrounded by the beauty of nature.
Spice truly stands out among caterers, not just for their exceptional food and service, but for their dedication to supporting local communities and providing immersive culinary experiences. Visit the Spice Hospitality Group’s website to learn more or contact them directly to plan your next event.
