Handheld Catering isn’t just a clever name. It’s who we are. We believe that you should know where your food comes from. We take our job as Bay Area event catering experts very seriously. We take the time to work with local farmers to provide our clients quality, healthy food that takes the Farm-to-Fork journey.
Our events catering starts with food that is touched by the hands of farmers, checked for quality by the purveyors with their hands, and prepared by the hands of our chefs into something unforgettable for you and your guests. The thoughtful journey that the food has taken translates into fresh, delicious food that will have everyone raving.
