Corporate Catering by

Fat Freddy’s

Thank you for considering Fat Freddy’s Catering as your caterer of choice. We

believe it is important that you know the history and experience of the caterers

you are considering in order to feel confident in your selection. In order to assist

you in your selection process, below is a brief synopsis of our company.

Established in 1993, Fat Freddy's Catering started out catering parties for friends

and family and for one particular resort that had a close connection to the owners.

As word started to spread about our great tasting food and excellent service

business began to take off.

Recently named One of the Best Caterers in

Phoenix by Expertise.com where their goal is

to connect people with the best local experts.

We were scored on more than 25 variables

across five categories: Reputation, Credibility,

Experience, Availability and Professionalism.

They looked at 354 catering companies in

Phoenix and we were one of the top 20.

As business steadily grew over the ensuing years, our catering activities shifted from small to

mid-size private and social events to catering much larger events for corporations. Today, a

high percentage of our overall business comes from the corporate sector. There are several

key requirements necessary to serve the corporate business environment and they are:

Have proven experience - we have been in business for more than 25 years

received Wedding Wire’s “Couple Choice Award”, Yelp’s “People Love us Award” and have

been named one of the best caterers in Phoenix by Expertise.com.

Fat Freddy’s Catering was named one of the Top 10

Caterers in Arizona by Best Things Arizona. To quote Best

Things Arizona, “a good catering company can make all

the difference. These companies have become the most

popular and praised in the state. You’ll get everything

In addition to corporate catering, we cater all types of events such as birthday parties,

retirement parties, family picnics, baby showers and weddings. You name it, we can

cater it.

We offer two types of service options for our catering; drop-off and full-service. When we

drop-off, all of your food will come in disposable foil pans and/or plastic bowls and platters.

Our delivery person will un-pack and set out all of the food and we always provide our

standard disposable plates, flatware, serving utensils and napkins.

When we cater a full-service event, our staff will arrive about two hours before your guests

and will set-up a professional buffet presentation with linens, chaffing dishes, serving

utensils and all other required buffet equipment. Our staff will replenish the food on the

buffet and if your menu requires; one of our cooks will be on-site to carve. We also have a

variety of beverage services available.

Our Catering Coordinators are always happy to help you determine exactly what your

specific needs may be.
