“With so many different areas and so much we can do in those settings, The Ranch offers a blank canvas for your event,” said general manager Pauline Gordie.
The Ranch at Bandy Canyon has a rich history dating back to 1870. Its authentic 1930 Adobe Lodge was the first Weir Brothers adobe structure in San Diego County. It features both beams from the historic San Diego pier as well as bricks fired right on the ranch.
“When guests first come out to The Ranch, it can feel a bit like going back in time,” said Gordie. “You just can’t help but get swept away.”
With a catering team, equestrian activities, nine cottages for overnight guests and more, The Ranch’s amenities marry the rustic splendor of the setting with the needs of contemporary guests. Fresh and modern menus for events at The Ranch come courtesy of French master chef Patrick Ponsaty and his creative culinary team. A variety of elegant and mouth-watering dishes and culinary options can be tailored for any event or need.
“The food is absolutely second to none, and we can cater to any type of special dietary requirements,” Gordie added.
The public can enjoy this delicious fare at various holiday-themed events throughout the year. The Ranch’s peaceful, western setting is the perfect spot to celebrate Father’s Day this year with their country-themed Father’s Day BBQ on Sunday, June 21. Seatings are at noon and 2 p.m. with pricing at $44.95 for guests 12 and older, $25 for those 11 and under and $5 for those 4 years and younger.
