About Boston
Catering & Events
From the boardroom to your backyard and beyond — we’ve got you covered.
We know that the food you serve at your meeting or event has a big job to do. It’s about more than just filling people up. Food helps you welcome, support, connect, and celebrate.
We create menus that meet the moment and experiences that make an impact.
Since 1992, when David Briggs became the new owner, we have grown from a small company specializing in barbecues and clambakes to a full-service catering company trusted by the region’s most prominent venues.
We’ve put food on planes, trains, and boats and served guests at museums, in historic estates, on rooftops, and at unique venues across Massachusetts.


No matter the occasion, we don’t just make it work—we make it wow.
Creativity and collaboration are cornerstones of our approach. Our culinary team’s diverse influences enable us to develop authentic global cuisine and craft custom menus tailored to you. From scratch-baked desserts to homemade dressings to expertly grilled meats and seafood, every dish is thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented.
Beyond the flavors and fun, we take service seriously. With over three decades of experience and established industry relationships, we're well-equipped to adapt to any challenge. Whether hand-delivering your order, coordinating rentals, or serving guests at a chef-active station, we go above and beyond to ensure you and your guests feel well taken care of.
Prepare to relax and enjoy your gathering, knowing that every detail is in our capable hands.

Our Commitment to You
Reliable Service
As a family-owned business, we take relationships seriously. You can count on professional service and expert guidance that makes your event memorable and stress-free.
Exceptional Food
There's nothing our diverse culinary team can't handle, from authentic ethnic cuisine to scratch-made baked goods to allergy-friendly options that never compromise on flavor.
Purposeful Planning
We love a theme and we live for the details. By taking the time to understand what matters to you, we ensure every bite, every display,
and every moment of your event supports your vision.
Transparent Sustainability
We thoughtfully source our ingredients, work with local producers when possible, offer biodegradable disposables, and practice composting and recycling at our facility.
