Menus

All our event menus, created by SoCal Head Chef Joel Doyle are pulled directly from the SoCal’s full dining menu ensuring your group has an authentic SoCal experience! Our menu consists of fresh and modern Southern Californian ‘share-style’ street food, packed with Latin American spices alongside house-made sauces and freshly indulgent sides.

Guests with special dietary requirements will receive appropriate replacements, but the menus already include lots of fantastic gluten free and vegetarian options.
