fresh. sustainable. satisfying.

Over the years, we have cultivated close relationships with farmers and producers who share our way of thinking and doing things. We believe that food should be more than just sustenance: it should be respectful of where it comes from and how it is produced. We would want nothing less than the best for ourselves, and deliver nothing less to you. From classic comfort food to eclectic international and trending cuisine, we continue to challenge ourselves to set the bar ever higher in the quest for the perfect balance of flavor, value, and that certain “somewhereness” that is unique to the Pacific Northwest.

Customer Testimonials and Success Stories

5 star

The Catering Company was totally awesome to work with from start to finish. The food was fabulous, presentation was great. The delivery was on time, the driver was very friendly and polite and helped me set out the boxes - we had 16 boxed lunches and salads. I would definitely recommend them and use them again and again! Everyone I worked with was so good at their job, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and polite. You could tell that they all enjoy what they do. The entire team made sure we had a great experience. Thank you!

We selected The Catering Company for our reception during Seattle Seafair / Seattle Fleet Week... they exceeded our expectations 10-fold. Cassidy B our event coordinator was top notch and made great recommendations for our party of 300+ people. We received multiple comments that our food was the best all week and many asked who we catered through so they could book for their next event. Highly recommended, especially for a big party and big menu. A+++++

I have used the same catering company for years but made a switch to The Catering Company for my annual holiday party. I was nervous about going with a new vendor. That said, The Catering Company did an amazing job from the ordering process completely through to pick-up of their equipment. The food items we chose were all fantastic. Everything went smooth and as expected. Definitely will continue using their services!

I've had several meals from here and they are all... fine. The strong points are that they are on time, deliver food that looks visually appealing for a catered business lunch, and are professional and easy to work with. However, none of the food we've had from them (which is a lot) has been anything worth writing home about. That said, I don't think anything has been bad either. Overall it's a safe place to use for a catered lunch.

Outstanding customer relations in making arrangements - cordial, professional, thorough and efficient! The party who received the sandwich array that we ordered was thrilled, saying that the quantity and the variety were perfect, and all of it was “superbly delicious”!

Lean and green - best business practices

We are committed to reducing our waste, practicing pollution prevention and conserving energy and natural resources wherever possible.

While it may be hip or trendy to talk about how "green" our business is, we actually talk the talk and walk the walk when it comes to reducing our waste footprint and incorporating green business practices.

Since our inception, The Catering Company has been committed to being “green.” From compostable catering trays and plant starch utensils to specifying recycled paper stock for our box lunch containers, we’ve incorporated green practices as a way of doing business.

We have already replaced our plastic disposable cutlery, plates, cups, containers, boxes and napkins with plant starch, biodegradable, or compostable products. Our goal is to use 100% sustainable replacements!

ALL-INCLUSIVE PRICING

makes ordering from us easy.

No hidden administrative, set-up, equipment, or delivery fees. When we say "all-inclusive" we mean it. No asterisks. No fine print.

WORKING HARD FOR THE MONEY is a requirement, as it should be. No arrogant "industry standard" gratuity added. If our food and service were truly awesome, you can add on a gratuity after the event.
