The 8 Best Caterers in Los Angeles
When you book a Peerspace venue for your event, a lot of little challenges can come together easily. While some venues require you to use their preferred caterer, others will let you choose anyone you want. Either way, it’s a good idea to make sure that your caterer understands the layout of the event space. You can also provide sufficient prep space and access to any other tools they need. That’s why lining up your caterer directly through the Peerspace Concierge is such a great option.
Food truck catering? No problem
Not only will it save you the effort of coordinating with a caterer yourself, but the Concierge can help you choose one who is perfectly suited to the venue. For example, if you’re choosing a food truck caterer, you’ll need an outdoor venue with a large backyard and easy street access. This stunning Oasis in the Valley has enough space for 75 guests and provides add-ons like a glamping tent and interior home access.
It also has a lot of love from the Peerspace community, which you can gauge when you check out a listing’s reviews. Here’s just one example: “Amazing location! Very fancy vibe and excellent for outdoor events. Definitely recommend!”
Pop-up dinner and production appropriate
If you’re planning a pop-up dinner, you can find a venue with a commercial kitchen complete with all the equipment your catering team needs. Or if ambiance is crucial, a modern home kitchen is also a charming idea. In fact, this McLaughlin modern home has hosted cooking shows and photoshoots and is not open to events. That doesn’t mean the Concierge service can’t arrange for catering to be delivered to you and your crew!
And this home certainly impresses Peerspace reviewers! “Great hosts! We used this space to film a couple of cooking tutorials and it was exactly what we needed. The host was very communicative and helpful in making sure we were set up logistically beforehand as well as the day of.”
And the Concierge isn’t just limited to helping you find trusted caterers in Los Angeles. They can help you line up furniture rentals for an outdoor dining experience or A/V gear for a screening or presentation. No matter what kind of event you have in mind, Peerspace has a plan for it!
4. Enjoy food truck fusion with Kogi BBQ
Kogi BBQ may be one of LA’s most famous food trucks. After all, it was chef Roy Choi who put Korean fusion on the map. But just because it’s made it big doesn’t mean you have to chase it around town to get a taste of its famous BBQ tacos and kimchi quesadillas. Book it for a party, wedding, quinceanera, or any other outdoor function.
While food trucks may not be the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to catering, it’s a great option. This is especially true if your event is in an unusual space and you don’t have time to set up furniture or buffet tables. They’ll even drive outside of LA County for an additional fee and will provide plates, utensils, and trash cans for easy cleanup!
A good caterer knows that it isn’t all about looks. But of course, an impressive presentation also can’t hurt! Bites and Bashes is known for multi-tiered displays that use bright, bold colors to catch your guests’ attention. That means you can expect colorful fruit and cheese platters with copper dishes and crystal bowls that make the arrangement stand out. The memorable colors even extend to the drinks, including their signature cocktails, lavender lemonade, and unsweetened iced tea.
Although they offer drop-off and pick-up options, choose them for a cocktail reception or formal dinner party to get the full effect. Their menus include Mediterranean, Italian, Thai, Greek, and Mexican dishes and contemporary American BBQ with smoked brisket. Not only that, But Bites and Bashes also offers individually packaged meals for socially distanced events. Talk about thoughtful!
