From-scratch catering built for Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley.
Pleasanton Catering Company cooks in a commercial kitchen right here in the Tri-Valley, and we handle the whole job ourselves — purchasing, prep, cooking, delivery, staffing and breakdown. That is true whether it is a Wednesday lunch for an engineering team off Stoneridge Drive, a rehearsal dinner on Main Street, or a 250-guest reception on a Livermore Valley lawn.

Pleasanton Catering Company operates under Fresh Pulp Holdings LLC, a Bay Area catering group with several regional brands. Across those brands we cater well over a thousand events a year and have served more than a million guests.
What that gets you is practical rather than glamorous: your event is run by people who know Tri-Valley logistics — badge-in policies at Hacienda Business Park, dock access downtown, what the 580/680 interchange looks like at 11:15 on a weekday — while the food comes out of a kitchen with the purchasing power and capacity of a much bigger operation. A ten-person board lunch in Dublin on Thursday and a 200-guest wedding in Livermore wine country on Saturday get the same checklist and the same discipline.
Appetizer Station
Full-Service StationThe kitchen behind the menu
Jason has spent more than a decade testing this menu in the only setting that tells the truth about a catering dish: live service, forty minutes deep, with a line of guests in front of it. If a dish loses its texture on a chafer, cannot survive the drive over the Dublin grade, or does not earn a second plate, it comes off the menu.
That filter is why the menu runs wide — Italian, Mexican, barbecue, Mediterranean and California classics — with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes written as real plates rather than substitutions. Proteins are cut in house, sauces and dressings are made from scratch, and the seasonal sections follow what Central Valley and Livermore Valley growers are actually picking.
Staffed Corporate LunchWhat we cater in Pleasanton
Our Tri-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 Pleasanton offices, tech campuses, meetings and neighborhood get-togethers
- • Individually boxed meals for trainings, all-hands days and large-group logistics
- • Holiday catering — Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter and December workplace parties
- • Event florals and rentals as add-ons or as standalone services

Pleasanton is home base, and we cater across the Tri-Valley and the wider East Bay: Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, San Ramon, Danville, Alamo, Sunol, Castro Valley, Blackhawk, Fremont, Walnut Creek and Pleasanton — plus the greater Bay Area for larger full-service events. One flat delivery rate covers our core Tri-Valley service area, so a downtown office pays the same as a hillside estate.
