Sunol Catering for Ranch & Country Events

Sunol events almost never come with a kitchen. Barns off Kilkare, ranch properties up the canyon, and the little venues near Main Street mean we arrive self-contained — our own hot boxes, water, tables, and hands — and leave the property the way we found it.

Ways to cater in Sunol

Catering a property with no kitchen

Sunol is a short run from our kitchen, so hot food still shows up hot after the canyon drive. We plan around one-lane bridges, cattle gates, generator power, and the fact that the nearest store is a long way off — so the truck leaves loaded with backups.

  • Flat delivery rate up the canyon and out to the ranches
  • Fully self-contained setup for venues with no kitchen
  • Generator-friendly equipment and propane chafers
  • Staffing available for full dinner service outdoors

"Pleasanton Catering did some appetizers for our holiday party and everyone raved about them, especially the spinach and artichoke tarts. They were professional, communicative and on time. Would use them again and highly recommend them."

"We used Pleasanton Catering for my mother’s celebration of life. They were very easy to work with and did a great job. The food was good and their employees were excellent…if I ever need a caterer in the Bay Area again, this company would be my first choice. Very professional organization."
