Saltbox Catering

Saltbox Catering is a Best of Boston-awarded caterer based in Concord, MA, serving the greater Boston and New England regions. Led by Chef and owner Ben Elliott, the team works intimately with clients to design custom, farm-inspired menus that incorporate ingredients from their own Saltbox Farm. Their food is classic, simple yet refined and unpretentious. Built by Chef Ben's grandparents in the 1940s, Saltbox Farm serves as the main source of inspiration for their cooking approach. By using organically-grown vegetables, honey, eggs, lamb and hops from the farm, they continue Concord's agricultural tradition while ensuring the farm's sustainable future. Chef Ben Elliott has spent 20 years honing his culinary skills in celebrated kitchens including La Folie and Fifth Floor in San Francisco, and Lockeober and No9 Park in Boston. During his 7-year career with James Beard Award-winning chef Barbara Lynch, Ben served as Chef de Cuisine at No.9 Park, opened Lynch's demonstration kitchen Stir, and launched her catering company 9 at Home before starting Saltbox Catering in 2010. The team values personal connections with clients and provides a single point of contact throughout the planning process. Saltbox Farm can also be rented as an event venue for weddings, engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. The team has catered weddings and events across New England, both large and small, rustic and formal.
