Saltbox Catering is a Best of Boston-awarded caterer based in Concord, MA that serves the greater Boston and New England regions.

Led by Chef and owner Ben Elliott, our team works intimately with our clients to design a custom, farm-inspired menu that you will be proud to serve your guests and that incorporates as many ingredients from our own Saltbox Farm as possible. Our food is classic, simple yet refined and unpretentious.

Built by Chef Ben's grandparents in the 1940s, Saltbox Farm is the main source of inspiration for how we cook and think about food. By using our own organically-grown vegetables, honey, eggs, lamb and hops in our dishes, we are continuing Concord’s long agricultural tradition while ensuring a sustainable future for the farm that has been a key source of inspiration throughout Chef Ben’s life. Saltbox Farm can also be rented as an event venue, a truly unique setting to celebrate with friends and family.

The team at Saltbox Catering values getting to know our clients on a personal level, and provides a single point of contact throughout the entire planning process, learns what’s most important to you and offers guidance all along the way.

We offer a range of services to complement our menus, including:
- custom brewed beer
- wine pairings & craft cocktails
- day of event coordination
- tablescape design
- management of food service rentals
- valued relationships with local & likeminded partners
