There is a lot happening behind even the simplest event. Menu planning, rentals, beverages, staffing, setup, timing and cleanup all have to come together before the first guest ever arrives.
That is where experience matters.
At Delectables, we have spent decades helping Tampa Bay companies, organizations and families gather around great food. Our job is not simply to deliver a meal. Our job is to anticipate the details, take responsibility for the experience and make hosting easier for you.
It is part of what we mean when we say:
No two company holiday parties need to look alike. Some organizations want a relaxed buffet where employees can mingle throughout the evening. Others envision passed hors d’oeuvres, cocktails and interactive food stations. And sometimes a beautifully executed dinner is exactly the right way to close out the year.
Our catering team can help you determine the style of service that makes the most sense for your guest count, venue, schedule and budget.
Depending upon your event, your celebration can include:
Holiday catering should not feel like banquet food simply because you are feeding a crowd.
Our culinary team approaches catered events with the same philosophy that guides Delectables throughout the year: thoughtful menus, quality ingredients and food prepared with care.
We can help you build a menu that feels festive without being predictable, while accommodating the dietary needs of your guests and the practical requirements of your venue.
Because when people talk about a great party afterward, the food is usually part of the story.
In fact, January can be one of the best times to gather your team. The rush of December is over, calendars begin to open up, and your celebration doesn’t have to compete with vacations, family commitments and dozens of other holiday events.
Call it a holiday party. Call it a New Year celebration. Call it an employee appreciation event.
The reason for gathering is what matters.
You don’t necessarily need a venue or an evening event to thank your team.
Our Holiday Office Lunch Catering gives companies another way to celebrate, with festive buffet menus available for convenient delivery or full-service catering.
It is especially well suited for offices, medical practices, professional firms, schools and organizations looking for an easy way to gather everyone around the table during the workday.
Delectables Fine Catering serves corporate celebrations throughout Pinellas County and the greater Tampa Bay area, including Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Oldsmar, St. Petersburg, Tampa and surrounding communities.
Whether your celebration takes place at your office, a private location or one of Tampa Bay’s event venues, our team can help you determine the right catering plan for your event.
December dates can disappear quickly, particularly for Thursday, Friday and Saturday celebrations.
If you already have a date in mind, now is the time to start the conversation. Tell us a little about your company, approximate guest count and the type of celebration you’re considering. Our catering team will help you take it from there.
Celebrate your team. We’ll handle the rest.
Earlier is always better, particularly for popular December dates. That said, availability changes throughout the season, so we encourage you to contact us even if you are planning on a shorter timeline.
Absolutely. Depending on the menu and event, we can provide everything from simple delivery to a fully staffed catered experience at your workplace.
Yes. We cater celebrations throughout Tampa Bay at offices, private properties and event venues. If you are in need of a venue, let us help you find the right fit. You can begin at our Venues page on this site.
Bar and beverage options can be incorporated into many of our full-service events. Our team can discuss the appropriate options when we learn more about your celebration.
Yes. Let your event specialist know about dietary needs when planning your menu so we can discuss appropriate options.
Absolutely! And we encourage companies to consider it. January can offer greater scheduling flexibility while still giving your employees the recognition and celebration they deserve.

We had our wedding at the Tampa River Center and Delectables was one of the catering options that we could have chosen. From the moment we saw their menu, we knew that they were the right choice. The communication was impeccable and they were able to answer all of our questions and help us decide what would be the best fit. There was honesty in every conversation, and I was so happy for that. We went into our wedding blind, without a tasting prior and let's just say it was a success. All of our guest agreed that it was by far the best wedding food that they had ever had. Our guests including ourselves, stated that they could not decide what was better, the appetizers or the actual meal. The service was impeccable, everything came out perfectly. If you are looking for a caterer that works with you, and provides a gourmet meal for a very good price, this is the one you need. You will not regret it, and your guest are going to be thanking you later! Thank you so much Delectables for helping make our dream day come true.Posted on Google![]()

We used Delectables Fine Catering for our wedding (working with McKenna Ewing specifically), and we could not have been any happier with them! We were forced to reschedule due to Hurricane Helene, and McKenna was incredible responsive and helpful during that process. During the actual event, the entire team were timely and very professional. They took great care in accommodating our celiac guests' dietary restrictions, and everyone raved about the food (especially the appetizers!). We would definitely use them again!Posted on Google![]()

If food is love, then Delectables Catering straight up proposed to us. Stephanie (an angel) helped us create the most iconic lineup: Tuscan chicken, braised short ribs, Caesar salad (croutons perfectly crisp), pesto pasta, seasonal veggies, a churro bar, hot dog bar, charcuterie, and five bomb passed apps. We went to one of their tastings and they were the obvious choice. Every detail was flawless and she even matched the menu cards to our wedding aesthetic. People RAVED about how good the food was. The service? Impeccable. The vibes? Gourmet. The short rib? A religious experience. Thank you for feeding us like royalty and making sure no one left hungry!!! No doubt, will be using them for every event moving forward.Posted on Google![]()

Our venue, Armature Works, recommended this catering service and we are so glad they did! We were looking for a Peruvian style meal and were worried that an average catering service would not be able to do it justice. We were proven wrong by Delectables. My fiancé's mother, who is from Peru was very impressed by the food and we found it delicious too. They were able to accommodate all our critiques and requests to create the perfect meal for our wedding.Posted on Google![]()
