About Us - Maple Street Catering, LLC

Maple Street Catering was started by Bethany Lewis and Clay Vagnini in 2003 on Maple Street in Woodstock, VT. They relocated to 2196 Christian Street after purchasing a home. After outgrowing the house they moved a second time, to Maple Ave in White River Junction, where Big Fatty’s was born. Clay and Bethany compiled recipes. Clay, from Key West grew up cooking Southern BBQ and Bethany had been in the area’s restaurants cooking and serving delicious food since she can remember. They started as a small mom and pop business and as their reputation grew, they needed more space. Applying to be on the Dartmouth Campus’ list for choice caterers was a very large boost for the company. They expanded once again and brought in Bethany’s son Brandon Fox as the General Manager.

In 2008 Maple Street Catering had the honor of participating in the Democratic Convention in Hanover, NH across multiple venues; feeding some of our top Candidates and their crew. We have served and planned eight fundraisers for different Political Parties at the same time. We have catered to Performers and Dignitaries and have been proud to serve our community and their families and friends.

Although Bethany and Clay are retired, Bethany still has her pulse on the company’s events.
