The Collective Kitchen
Full Service Private Dining and Catering Company Serving the Sea to Sky Region of British Columbia ServicesBOOK TODAY!Our Story
The Collective Kitchen was created in 2012 by Chef John Ferris, who has been passionate about food since he was a young man. He has had the privilege to live in the bountiful Sea to Sky area for the past 15 years, where his passion and commitment for bringing natural ingredients together with sound techniques shows itself on every plate. We work collaboratively with local and regional farmers, artisans and purveyors. We respect their work and aim to serve the best that BC has to offer. We are professional chefs who will help you design a custom menu that fits the needs of your special event. You can expect the same attention to detail and craft that you would find in the finest restaurants on the west coast.
The Pemberton Valley has had centuries of glacial history creating ideal conditions for growing a wide variety of produce. Pemberton and Area supports fruit, vegetable and beef farming but is best known for it’s ‘Seed Potato’ production which reaches markets in the lower mainland and in the States. Organic farming practices are wildly being adopted while crop diversity has expanded with the development of cranberries, hemp, hazelnut and garlic operations.
The “Collective” includes all the local producers that are sourced to make your meal phenomenal.

Simply Amazing
“The first thing that all our family and friends said about our wedding was just how amazing the food was and that says a lot about what John and the Collective Kitchen team pulled off. We have had multiple requests for the menus to recreate for home cooked meals and also some of our guests will be booking John and his team for their upcoming events.”

Perfect!
“I can’t tell you how much our guests were raving about every. single. meal. Not only did it taste delicious, it was beautifully presented and everything was perfectly cooked. A few quotes that we heard constantly throughout our wedding weekend included, “Oh man, I’m speechless…this tastes SO good!!”, “Where did you find this chef…he is AMAZING!!” and my personal favourite : “This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had in my ENTIRE life!!””
Vena Kim, 2017
Perfection!
“John and his crew created an absolutely wonderful meal for our rural wedding, setting up their portable kitchen and turning our back yard into a 5-star restaurant! Service was impeccable, and guests raved about the food, with several people declaring it “the best wedding food I’ve ever had!”
Omnivores, pescavores, vegetarians, and one guest with Celiac disease were all equally well-fed and cared for. Servers were courteous, professional, and attentive. Canapes, salads, sides, and main courses were all fresh, beautifully prepared, creative, and delicious, and glasses were kept full at all times. “
