Celebrated Bucks County chef Max Hansen is making a move to Princeton, New Jersey, to open a venue for his popular catering business, Max Hansen Caterer.
Princeton Farmhouse, the Mercer County headquarters of his catering operation, is a 25,000-square-foot, multimillion-dollar venue on an 82-acre campus with full-service liquor license.
Hansen, who has served the Mercer and Bucks county communities for more than 25 years, saw a lack of sizeable premium event spaces in the Princeton area. Once COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, the event space will accommodate up to 300 guests for sit-down affairs, he said.
Princeton Farmhouse, a full-service catering and event facility, includes a commissary kitchen, offices, large deck, grounds with native and sustainable plants and a New England-style farm aesthetic. The venue, which was five years in the making, is being designed by Studio Hillier with construction beginning late this summer. The opening is slated for summer 2022.
