Menlo Circus Club

Menlo Circus Club, an exclusive family-oriented country club in California, is renowned for its rich tradition of equestrian events, sports, and elegant social gatherings.

Known for its high hospitality standards and classic club dining—featuring favorites like burgers and sandwiches—the club required a dependable solution to maintain full food service during a major five-month kitchen renovation.

Challenge

With its primary kitchen and refrigeration systems offline for renovation, the club needed a temporary facility capable of serving up to 500 meals per day while preserving menu quality, safety, and member satisfaction.

Solution

Mobile Culinaire provided two 53' California code–compliant kitchen trailers offering over 200 square feet of walk-in cooler, freezer, and dry storage space. Fully equipped with a burner range, fryers, and double-deck oven, the setup allowed Menlo Circus Club to operate seamlessly throughout the renovation, maintaining its complete menu and uninterrupted service for members.
