Catering & Food at our Newton Location

Food is an excellent companion to paddling, and Charles River Canoe & Kayak is happy to arrange catering from any local restaurant. A selection of our favorites is presented below.
You can arrange the catering yourself (so you can confer directly with the caterer regarding menu selections), or we can make the arrangements: choose one of our Featured Selections (at right) or work with us to plan your menu for a fee of 20% of the food cost (minimum fee $50; food cost includes 6.25% state tax).
All our locations have a waterfront picnic area available for group use. Learn more about picnicking at our Newton location!
A great option for picnics is Auburndale Park, about a mile downstream of our boathouse. If your group rents eight boats or more and pays for two hours of rental, we will not charge you for one additional hour of rental while you picnic at Auburndale Park.
A very popular Davis Square restaurant serving authentic, downhome-style Southern food. Menu includes standard barbeque favorites like ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and more. See our Featured Selection from Redbones above.
Custom menus, delicious foods skillfully prepared and beautifully presented, detailed event planning, and impeccable service. Everything from finger foods and brownies to full meals. See our Featured Selection from Baker's Best above.
New England farmhouse-inspired bakery-café offering bagels and fresh sandwiches. In addition to visiting their nearby restaurant for a sit-down meal, you can order individual boxed meals or large platters for catering, so small and large groups can be accommodated equally well.
Catering and sit-down dining in a number of locations. They offer a wide variety of soups, sandwiches, wraps, a daily hot entree, and a daily vegetarian special. Sit-down and take-out available in their Kendall Square Cafe, so it's perfect for a picnic or pre-/post-paddle snack at our Cambridge location, and they also have a catering location near our Newton Boathouse.
