With more than 20 years of experience in the San Francisco Bay area, Basic Catering provides a complete menu of food services for your event. We use a consultative approach with our clients, from helping you choose the right menu, designing a layout and setting up your event, to taking it down and cleaning up.

We launched Basic Catering with a vision of pairing delicious food and exceptional service. We have strong relationships with local sources of meat, dairy, fruits, vegetables, and other fresh, sustainable ingredients which help us create a memorable meal for you and your guests. Our chefs have experience with a wide variety of menu selections through real-world experience as well as on-going training.

Once we know the date and your general requirements, we develop a menu using your suggestions and our expertise. From a simple, drop-off boxed lunch for a corporate meeting to your five-course, champagne-toast wedding extravaganza, we’re certain we can find the right meal for your needs. Tastings are available before the menu is finalized and we can accommodate most special requests during the event, including toasts, vegan and vegetarian options, and specialized dessert selections.

We have a full suite of services, including drop-off, buffet, plated, and fully-staffed services, all with a focus on excellent taste and first-class presentation. We can provide a standard or a premium bar, complete with bartender and set up. We can deliver an outdoor kitchen if necessary or use the on-site facilities.

Every event is customized with your needs in mind. Do you just need the right amount of food dropped off and you’ll handle the rest? We can help. Looking for someone to handle everything from beginning to end so you can focus on friends and family at your 500-guest wedding? We’ve got you covered. Basic Catering can provide the peace of mind you need for your event, large or small, so you can focus on the big picture details. We will take the stress off your plate, pun intended, with professionalism, pride and confidence.
