Old North State Catering

Our team


Chris Wrenn was born and raised in Fuquay-Varina. Chris graduated from North Carolina State University with a business degree. He has owned several companies in his professional career that were both regional and national in scope and all service oriented. It is a genuine love of people, food, and making memories that moved Chris and his wife Allison to invest in a full scale 42 foot commercial kitchen on wheels which gives them the ability to bring an Executive Chef and commercial kitchen to your event and create gourmet food onsite. It is what they love to do.

And of course we could not possibly be successful without our Sous Chefs, servers, and general kitchen help.
Equipment

A 42 foot commercial kitchen trailer does the heavy lifting at Old North State Catering. Outfitted and maintained by Southbend Commercial Kitchen Equipment in Fuquay-Varina it is a Chefs dream kitchen on wheels. A partial equipment list includes a 40 gallon tilt swiss braiser, two gas convection ovens, two large gas fryers, 8 gas burners, 3 foot griddle, warming/proofing cabinet, 20 foot vent hood, four commercial coolers, commercial freezer, speed racks, LP Gas continuous water heater, three compartment commercial sink, hand wash sink, fresh and waste water holding tanks, and a 12,500 watt Onan Quiet Power on board generator. The tow vehicle is a four door Chevrolet Kodiak 5500 that when paired up with the kitchen trailer shows all who see it that we are passionate about food, our equipment, our reputation, but most importantly our customers experience with Old North State Catering.
