As they continue to heighten guest experiences from every angle, the team at The Feed Co. Table & Tavern highlights their new event space in the rear of the Main Street venue and the restaurant's catering options.

Executive Chef Charlie Loomis said what's particularly nice about the new space is that it offers a comfortable, private venue for which the restaurant doesn't necessarily have to charge parties a separate fee once they hit a reasonable minimum number of guests.

"We can do groups of 25 to 80 people, perfect for a business meal or wedding rehearsal, while the space itself holds up to 100. That can be great for a social," he said.

He went on to say that it's an ideal setting for any type of seated dinner, beer or wine dinners, wedding rehearsal, office party, business lunch and more.

"We have everything very easily accessible for AV, including three TVs with HDMI hookups for business presentations. It's all wired for sound as far as music is concerned, too. It also features a beautiful private bar, a separate restroom and its own entrance," Loomis described.

When it comes to the menu for the evening's event, plenty of ideas are available on the Feed Co.'s website, but it ultimately comes down to a conversation and consultation between the chef and the group for which the event is geared.

"Everything we do is custom built to guests' needs," the executive chef said. "For example, if we have a wedding rehearsal, we talk to the couple about some of their favorite meals, and build a menu based for the masses around some of those things."

Some Feed favorites include smoked brisket tacos or smoked chicken tacos to beef short ribs with cabernet.

"It can vary from something relaxed and party-style to more upscale and formal," he said.

Off-premise catering is available as well if that's more suited to your group, with everything available for weddings to small office lunches.

"We're looking at launching our whole catering side, plus this new event space," Loomis said. "We do everything from deliveries to set up and cooking on-site."
