18 Apr SSL Luncheon at The Darlington House
On Wednesday, April 11, The Abbey Catering had the distinct honor of catering a luncheon for the wonderful ladies of the Social Service League of La Jolla, an organization that owns and uses a beautiful venue known as The Darlington House as a revenue source to fund programs and affordable housing for those who have lived and worked in the San Diego area and who cannot otherwise afford decent housing after retirement.
The “ladies who lunch” enjoyed an afternoon of full-service catering and a rare chance of dining within the house itself, starting with glasses of champagne upon arrival and The Abbey Catering’s signature salad of mixed greens with caramelized walnuts, dried cranberries, feta cheese and our homemade raspberry vinaigrette. The ladies were then treated with a plated lunch of our Chianti-braised shorts ribs with home-style mashed potatoes and seasoned broccoli. If that was not enough, the luncheon ended with a deliciously-sweet pineapple strudel and coffee service.
Thank you for a wonderful afternoon ladies! It was an absolute delight to see some familiar faces and meet some new ones and we look forward to our next event together! We greatly appreciate our partnership with the Darlington House and enjoy the many years we’ve been working together. We are honored to be considered of their preferred caterers.
