The Culinary Architects
Extraordinary events deserve extraordinary food.
More than simply providing a beautiful space for special events, the Pendennis has always been about creating extraordinary experiences and we are so excited to introduce the next evolution of our vision:
The Culinary Architects — our in-house catering division.
Designed to elevate every event hosted at The Pendennis, The Culinary Architects brings together exceptional culinary talent, thoughtful presentation, and seamless service to create food experiences that can add another dimension to any event.
From refined plated dinners to immersive tasting experiences, our culinary team approaches every menu first as an act of design. By crafting dishes in consultation with each client, we’re able to complement the occasion and add to the experience of the people gathered around the table.
Led by Head Chef Tamara Solon, a Red Seal Chef with more than a decade of culinary experience, The Culinary Architects delivers bold flavours, beautiful presentation, and thoughtful hospitality for weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations.
Welcome to The Culinary Architects.
