Catering built for Oakland offices, venues, and backyards.

We started Oakland Catering Company for a simple reason: East Bay hosts deserve catering that tastes like a restaurant kitchen made it, not a warming tray. We cook from raw ingredients the morning of service, pack for the exact venue we are walking into, and deliver straight to your office, home, or event site across Oakland and the wider East Bay. Freight elevators, permit-only loading zones, a warehouse space with one narrow roll-up door — we have worked all of it, and none of it becomes your problem.

A local Oakland crew with real capacity behind it

You work with a small crew — one coordinator who knows your date, your venue, and your headcount from the first email through breakdown. No hand-offs between departments, no repeating yourself to a new person each week.

Behind that crew is genuine production capacity. Oakland Catering Company is part of Fresh Pulp Holdings LLC, a Bay Area catering group whose brands together cater well over a thousand events a year and have served more than a million guests. That scale is what lets us buy well, staff properly, and cook at volume the morning of service instead of the day before.

In practice: a 20-person team lunch on Tuesday and a 220-guest wedding on Saturday get the same scratch cooking, the same attention, and the same fully itemized proposal with no surprise line items.

What we cater in Oakland

We cover the whole range of East Bay events, from a recurring Tuesday office lunch to a full black-tie reception. The most common formats:

• • Wedding catering — plated, buffet, or family-style, with bar service, florals, and rentals under one contract
• • Full-service events — galas, fundraisers, holiday parties, and conferences with uniformed staff
• • Drop-off catering for Oakland offices, meetings, film sets, and community events
• • Individually boxed meals for trainings, job sites, and large-group logistics
• • Holiday catering — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and company parties
• • Florals and event rentals as add-ons to a menu or booked on their own

Where we cater across the East Bay

We cater and deliver across the East Bay and around the bay: Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Alameda, Piedmont, Albany, El Cerrito, Richmond, San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, Concord, and Pleasant Hill — plus San Francisco and the Peninsula for larger full-service events. One flat delivery rate covers our core Oakland service area, so a downtown high-rise pays the same delivery as a hillside home above Montclair.
