Food and Beverage

Menus prices begin at $59.00 per person plus tax and gratuity. Our food & beverage professionals will make every effort to accommodate special requests and help coordinate a menu that is customized to your event. We are happy to coordinate special requests due to dietary or medical restrictions.

There will be a 20% Service Charge added to all Food and Beverage.
Sales Tax is currently 7.5% and will be added to Food and Beverage.  Please note that this percentage is dictated by the state of North Carolina and therefore subject to change.

The State of North Carolina Alcoholic Beverage Commission regulates the sale and service of all alcoholic beverages.  The Sanderling Resort & Spa is responsible for the administration of these regulations; therefore, all alcoholic beverages used in banquet functions must be purchased from the resort.

Alcoholic beverages are priced and billed on consumption.

The Sanderling adheres to all North Carolina laws pertaining to alcoholic beverage  storage, handling, service and consumption and reserves the right to refuse alcohol to any guest.  Please make sure your guests know that proof of identification may be requested.

Due to our remote geographical location, we require all menu selections 45 days   prior to your event to guarantee appropriate availability. A guaranteed guest count for meals is required 5-business days prior to the event.  This number is a minimum guarantee and may not be reduced after that date. If no guarantee is provided, the last known written count will be used.  Our staff will prepare food service to serve 5% above the guaranteed number of attendees. If the attendance falls below the guarantee, the host is responsible for the guaranteed count.  Should the actual guest count be higher than the guaranteed count, the host will be notified at the event and will be requested to initial the proper count.

Thank you for understanding that local health code ordinances do not permit our staff to allow the removal of food from our banquet sites.

Light lunches, boxed lunches or alternate meals may be ordered for your selected vendors at your pleasure.
