presenting "a moveable feast"

Full-Service Private and Corporate Catering Company Debuts in Northeast Connecticut

A Moveable Feast is the latest venture of restaurateur Andrew Gütt. Little more than a year after transforming his neighborhood coffee shop Cafémantic into a destination small plates restaurant with a farm inspired menu, Gütt will now be offering the menu creations and hospitality of his team for off-site events. 

A Moveable Feast will offer a wide range of event planning services: menu and event design, staffing, venue selection and event planning. Growing Cafémantic to include A Moveable Feast has been both a logical and natural progression.
