What happens on the day of your holiday party
We bring the stand, the food and the staff to your venue. We set up, two chefs cook and serve for two hours, and then we break it all down.
We only take so many events per weekend, and once a date is gone, it’s gone. Send your date, venue and guest count, and we’ll tell you if it’s open.

None of our reviews are from a holiday party yet. These are from the kinds of events a holiday party is.
How big a holiday party can you handle?
From 40 guests up. Company events of 150 guests or more are regular work for us. In March 2026 we cooked for 400 guests at a company event in Kearny Mesa, with four cooks.
We’ve catered for Kaiser, Sharp, Roadrunner Sports and the City of San Diego, and more than 20 clients have booked us again. Bigger counts take more cooks, and your quote says how many.
Which holiday parties do you cater?
Company holiday parties, office parties and family holiday gatherings. It’s the same stand and the same price: you pick two proteins, and we bring the stand, the food and the staff.
