Offsite Catering Venues

White Oak Plantation has been in the catering business for 20 years. During that time we have had the opportunity to bring Chef John Folse’s recipes and menus around the world, including Russia, China and Vatican City. We are always delighted to cater your special event here on our beautiful property, but we also excel at bringing our fine food and service to you.
