Catering built for Walnut Creek offices, homes, and venues.
Walnut Creek Catering Company started with one stubborn belief: catering should taste like someone actually cooked it that morning, because too much of it arrives tasting shipped. We butcher and prep, cook from raw ingredients the day of service, pack for the exact venue we are walking into, and deliver straight to your office, home, or event site across Walnut Creek and the Diablo Valley. Downtown loading zones, tight garage clearances, a backyard down a long set of steps in Orinda — none of that becomes your problem.
A local Walnut Creek team with real capacity behind it
You deal 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.
Behind that crew is genuine production capacity. Walnut Creek Catering Company operates under 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 rather than the day before.
In practice: a 20-person board lunch on Wednesday 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.
Elegant Buffet
Staffed Lunch ServiceThe cook behind the menu
Jason has spent over a decade testing this menu the hard way — mid-service, forty minutes in, with a line of guests waiting. A dish only earns a permanent spot if it holds its texture on a chafer, survives the drive over the Caldecott or down 680, and gets people back for a second plate.
That filter is why the menu runs wide instead of trendy: Italian, Mexican, barbecue, Mediterranean, and California classics, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free dishes written as real plates rather than afterthoughts — and every tray labeled so dietary guests are not left guessing.
Hot Office LunchWhat we cater in Walnut Creek
Our Diablo Valley work ranges from a standing weekly office lunch to a black-tie evening reception. The formats we handle most:
- • Wedding catering — plated, buffet, or family-style, with staffing, florals, and rentals on a single contract
- • Full-service events — galas, fundraisers, company milestones, conferences, and holiday parties with uniformed staff
- • Drop-off catering for Walnut Creek offices, clinics, meetings, and neighborhood gatherings
- • Individually boxed meals for trainings, off-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

Dessert TableWhere we cater across the Diablo Valley
We cater and deliver across Contra Costa County and the Diablo Valley: Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Clayton, Martinez, Pittsburg, and Antioch — plus the wider Bay Area for larger full-service events. One flat delivery rate covers our core Walnut Creek service area, so a downtown office pays the same delivery as a hillside home at the end of a private lane.
