Fairlawn Street Party, you were hungry! 😄🍔

We had such a great time at the Fairlawn Street Party on September 19. We brought chicken burgers, veggie burgers and iced tea to share, and by the time the event wrapped up, every last one was gone. 💚

It was lovely seeing families spending the afternoon together, catching up with neighbours and stopping by our table for a bite. We also got to meet lots of new people and see some familiar faces along the way.

Food really does have a way of bringing people together.

We’ve been catering in Toronto since 2006—but with a fresh new look and plenty happening behind the scenes, we thought it was time to reintroduce ourselves.

We’re Hearty Catering, a Toronto-based catering company creating thoughtful, delicious food for workplaces, celebrations and events of all sizes.

For the past 20 years, we’ve had the privilege of being part of thousands of gatherings across the city—from everyday office lunches to important milestones and large-scale events. While every occasion is different, our approach has always been rooted in the same idea: good catering should make bringing people together feel effortless.

That means creating menus with something for everyone, accommodating a wide range of dietary needs and bringing care and attention to every part of the experience. Whether we’re serving familiar favourites, plant-forward dishes or individually prepared meals, we want every guest to feel considered and genuinely excited to eat.

Over the years, Hearty has continued to grow and evolve alongside the people and communities we serve. Our recent rebrand is part of that evolution. It reflects who we are today while carrying forward the experience, relationships and values we’ve built since 2006.

And this is only the beginning of what we have planned.

In the months ahead, we’ll be sharing more: the people behind the company, the inspiration behind our menus, helpful catering advice, stories from our kitchen and a closer look at the work that goes into the events we’re fortunate to be part of.

We want this page to become more than a place to share photographs of food. We want it to be a place where you can get to know us, get inspiration and feel connected to what we’re creating.

If you’ve ordered from us, attended an event we catered or followed our journey over the years, thank you for being part of our story. And if this is your first time discovering Hearty, welcome. We’re excited to show you what comes next.

What we don’t do says a lot about how we cater. 👀
🍗 We don’t serve the same chicken and rice at every event.
🥗 We don’t assume healthy food has to taste “healthy.”
🌱 We don’t think a salad and fruit count as a complete vegan meal.
🥕 We don’t treat vegetarian and vegan options as an afterthought.
✅ We don’t send food out without checking the details twice.
💚 And we don’t forget that the person ordering has plenty of other things to manage.

Good catering should offer variety, take every guest into account and make the organizer’s job a little easier. Every event has different guests, dietary needs, schedules and reasons for gathering. The menu should reflect that.

But the behind-the-food operations is also important. Double-checking quantities, labels, dietary meals and delivery details helps prevent small mistakes from becoming big problems. Clear communication also means the person placing the order doesn’t have to spend their day chasing answers or worrying about what was missed.

When choosing a caterer, don’t only ask what is on the menu. Ask how they plan for different guests, manage changes and confirm the details.
