I highly recommend this catering company for corporate events. They were exceptionally communicative, prompt, organized, and professional from the initial planning stages through delivery. The breakfast selection was flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, meeting all of our expectations and requests.

As long as I have been hosting our office events the team has never praised a caterer the way they did with you. I gave all who asked the name of your company as they were very impressed. Thank you so much for a great menu and the best customer service. I will defiantly keep you in mind for our end of year holiday party.

Madeleine was so kind and helpful through the whole planning process. On the day of our company holiday party, they showed up right on time and ready to go. The food was amazing!!!! I'm not exaggerating - 10/10. We got so much positive feedback from our guests about how good everything was.

Three Los Angeles County corporate caterers made this list, ranked by Yelp rating then review count. Delicia leads at 5.0 (71 reviews), followed by Bites & Bashes Catering at 4.9 (308) and Hungry Bear Catering at 4.9 (127), all read September 30, 2026. All three run a dedicated corporate-events and holiday-party program rather than weddings with a corporate add-on, and all three cleared our safety and merit screens.

Michele Leocadio creates restaurant content for Elev8ed Table. We decide who's featured on merit alone and never sell placement or ranking β€” nobody in this guide paid for inclusion.

Whoever books the company holiday party isn't shopping for the fanciest menu β€” they're shopping for the vendor they can trust to show up on time, on budget, and with exactly what was ordered. Hungry Bear and Delicia both name "Holiday Parties" directly among their services; Bites & Bashes runs the same under its Corporate Events line. Only Bites & Bashes publishes a starting per-person figure ($29.95 on its Drop Off & Pick Up tier) β€” get a written quote against your actual headcount before you compare any of them.

The service-tier structure is genuinely different across these three, and it changes what you're buying. Bites & Bashes publishes two tiers: Drop Off & Pick Up (preset buffets from $29.95/person, typically 15–20 guests, no setup or staff) and Full Service (on-site chefs, servers and bartenders, booked by signed contract and 50% deposit). Delicia publishes three: Drop-Off (disposable trays, self-serve), Serveware (a staffed buffet with chafing dishes and display pieces β€” its most-booked tier), and Full Service (an on-site attendant through the event). Hungry Bear requires a tasting before booking and doesn't publish tiered pricing at all.

An office is the most dietary-diverse room you'll cater all year β€” collect the breakdown with the RSVPs, not the day before. 53% of U.S. diners now actively seek healthier options, rising to 71% among those in their 20s (Toast Health-Conscious Dining survey). None of the three publishes a certified allergen menu, so confirm directly. What all three do publish is a corporate client roster worth weighing as a reliability signal: Hungry Bear names Microsoft, Honda and NBC; Bites & Bashes names Vanity Fair and several tech companies; Delicia names the LA Dodgers, Kaiser Permanente and lululemon β€” the businesses' own claims, not independently verified here.

What to ask before you book

  • Do you want self-serve, a staffed buffet, or full service? Delicia and Bites & Bashes both publish multiple tiers with different staffing and setup; Hungry Bear doesn't publish tiers at all, so ask directly what's included.
  • What's the actual per-person cost at your headcount? Only Bites & Bashes publishes a starting figure β€” $29.95/person on its Drop Off tier, typically a 15–20 guest minimum; Delicia and Hungry Bear require a direct quote.
  • Can they invoice your company or take a PO? None of the three publishes billing terms online β€” confirm the exact format your finance team needs before you book.

Frequently asked questions

When should I book corporate holiday catering in Los Angeles County?

As early as you can confirm a date. The Q4 window compresses a lot of office parties into a few weeks, and these caterers take bookings against their own order cutoff, which lands earlier than the event itself.

Can these caterers invoice my company or take a PO?

Confirm it directly β€” none of the three publish billing terms online. Ask for the exact format your finance team needs (itemized receipt, PO acceptance, tax handling) before you book.

What's the difference between a drop-off and a full-service booking?

Drop-off means the food arrives and your team sets it out β€” Delicia's Drop-Off tier and Bites & Bashes's Drop Off & Pick Up both work this way, with no on-site staff. Full service adds chefs, servers or an attendant who maintains the buffet through the event. Ask exactly what staffing is included before you book.

Do any of them handle event styling or a bar?

Delicia offers event styling β€” tables, chairs, linens, florals, dessert displays β€” as a separate line item. Bites & Bashes runs its own licensed bar subsidiary, Bar Bijoux, for craft cocktail service. Hungry Bear's own site doesn't mention styling or bar service.
