The closest restaurant kitchen to Highmark Stadium.

The Mansard is 1.4 miles from Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY — a four-minute drive from our kitchen at 3365 Abbott Rd. That makes us the closest restaurant-caliber full kitchen to the stadium and the shortest possible heated-delivery window for gameday food. No sitting in pre-game traffic with cold trays. We have catered Bills tailgates in Orchard Park for over a decade, dating back to our Apple Wood Café days in Williamsville.

Yes. The Mansard delivers to stadium lots on Sunday home games — drop-offs run through the entry rush before kickoff. Tell us your lot number and row, and we coordinate delivery timing with your group's gate-entry window. We have routed delivery to every major Highmark lot including the Blue, Red, Gold, and Green lots. For suite catering, we coordinate through the stadium's preferred-caterer protocols; call us to work through the logistics.

Order by Thursday noon for the Sunday home game of that week. For bye weeks, Thursday Night Football, and primetime games, the deadline shifts — call us the week before. Large orders (50+ guests) or stadium-suite catering need a minimum of 10 days' notice for kitchen scheduling. Playoff games and division-round contests fill our calendar fast; lock in your booking the week of the regular-season finale if you want to host through the postseason.

Every Mansard tailgate package includes hot food in insulated chafers or coolers, disposable plates, napkins, utensils, serving spoons, and condiments. Delivery to your lot or drop point is included within 15 miles. Heated transport, setup, and pick-up are built in — you don't have to do anything except eat. Parking-lot grill setup is available on request; we bring the grill, propane, and the griller.

Yes. Watch parties at home, at a rented event space, or at a corporate office are a sizeable share of our gameday business. The Mansard delivers hot to your location across Western New York — we regularly cater watch parties in Buffalo, Hamburg, West Seneca, and Lancaster. We scale from 10-person living-room watch parties to 75-person backyard bashes. See our drop-off catering page for delivery-only options.

For late-season Bills games at Highmark — think 15°F with lake-effect snow — we prioritize food that holds its temperature. Braised and stewed proteins (braised beef, chili, Italian sausage with peppers), heavy pasta bakes, chicken wings that reheat well in chafers, and beef-on-weck sliders with au jus on the side all perform. We avoid anything fried that would lose its crunch. Our insulated chafers hold heat for three-plus hours in freezing temperatures.

Yes. The Mansard handles stadium-suite catering coordinated through Highmark's preferred-caterer protocols. Suite catering typically runs at the Championship tier ($52.95 per person) with white-glove service, a carving chef on-site, and full bar service. Call (716) 828-1115 at least 14 days before the game to work through the stadium's load-in and service requirements.

The Mansard regularly caters Bills gameday jobs from 15 to 200 guests. Our largest tailgates have been 150-person corporate hospitality groups taking multiple adjacent lot spots. Corporate groups buying season-package tailgates for home games get locked pricing and priority slots.

Yes. Our standard gameday minimum is 15 guests, but for Sunday home games we can sometimes accommodate a 10-guest drop-off with 48 hours of notice. Smaller groups are the sweet spot for our drop-off catering service — hot food delivered to your lot, no staff, you serve. Call us with the game date and your headcount and we'll tell you immediately what's possible.

Yes, and playoff dates fill our calendar faster than any other games. Divisional round and conference championship games at Highmark Stadium book out the week of the regular-season finale. We prioritize season-package customers and corporate hospitality groups for playoff slots, but individual tailgates are available on first-come basis — call early.

Yes. Primetime Bills home games shift our order-by deadline from Thursday noon to 48 hours before kickoff. Tuesday noon for Thursday-nighters, Saturday noon for Monday-nighters. Primetime games are smaller-volume days for catering (most fans drive in after work), so we can often accommodate tighter turnaround than on Sundays.

Most Buffalo-area caterers are 15 to 40 minutes from Highmark Stadium — meaning hot food spends most of its temperature-life in the delivery van. The Mansard is 1.4 miles from the stadium. We are a full restaurant kitchen (not a catering-only commissary), so the food is prepared the same way it is served in our dining room. And the kitchen team has catered Bills tailgates since 2012, first as Apple Wood Café & Catering in Williamsville, now from Orchard Park.
