Catering Menu lancercatering.com • 763.315.8503 Our Story Lancer Catering was the vision of two young friends who started their hospitality careers with a single food truck. Thirty-five years later, Lancer provides innovative food, stunning presentation, and memorable service at thousands of weddings, corporate events and other special occasions every year. Our goal is not simply to make your event a fun and joyful one, but to make the planning just as enjoyable an experience. We have created this sample menu of some of our most popular items, but are famous for our flexibility as a caterer, and for our unique custom menus. If you don’t quite see what you’re looking for, please let your Catering Sales Manager know, and we’ll customize a menu especially for your event!
