OUR CATERING COMPANY – AT A GLANCE
Feast for a King is a catering company that began as a homegrown operation in 1996. We have expanded into a Full-Service Catering and Events Planning Company specializing in customized menus and event design. While our catering company has expanded over the years, we have never lost sight of our vision to provide locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, scratch cooking, beautifully presented dishes, and friendly, professional service with great attention to detail. We think this philosophy is what sets us apart, and enabled us to become Santa Cruz County’s premier caterer.
We look forward to hearing from you for your coming event. Whether it is an intimate formal gathering, casual celebration or large traditional affair, our catering company is here for you. We hope that we can assist in making your next event a memorable occasion.
Call today at (831) 464-1741, to speak with an event planner to discuss a custom menu that includes an estimated price breakdown based on your event needs.
