Sula has catered at John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse in Fraser River waterfront, Vancouver. A fully floating event hall on the Fraser River, all glass walls, dock space, and water-and-mountain views. It is one of the few proper waterfront rooms in the region that hands you the kitchen and lets you bring your own caterer. We have plated weddings and corporate dinners inside it.

Our menu travels with us. Halal chicken and lamb, no beef and no pork, tier service from $23.95 per guest, live tandoor and dosa stations, full vegetarian, vegan, and Jain options. We coordinate with John M.S. Lecky UBC Boathouse and your timeline, and bring everything to plate the room in our colours.

Frequently asked questions

Does the UBC Boathouse allow outside catering like Sula?

Yes. The Boathouse welcomes outside caterers and gives you full use of the servery galley. A galley fee applies for caterers off their preferred list, and we factor that straight into your Sula quote so there are no surprises.

How many guests can Sula serve at the UBC Boathouse?

The event hall seats up to 150 for a plated or buffet dinner and holds up to 180 for a standing cocktail reception. We scale the menu and service to either format.

Can Sula provide a halal menu at the UBC Boathouse?

Yes. Our default is halal, halal chicken and lamb, no beef and no pork ever. Vegetarian, vegan, Jain, and gluten-free options are built into every tier.

How much is catering at the UBC Boathouse?

Our per-guest tiers start at $23.95 and run to $31.95, plus full custom builds. The Boathouse sets the room fee and galley fee directly, and we fold it into one Sula quote.

Does the waterfront setting work for an evening reception?

It is built for it. The floor-to-ceiling glass frames the river and the North Shore peaks at golden hour, and the adjoining patio and fireside lounge give your guests somewhere to spill out between courses.
