Scratch-cooked catering for Redwood City and the Peninsula.
Winslow's Catering Redwood City was built around a simple frustration: the Peninsula is full of people who care about food, and most catering still shows up tasting like it was assembled somewhere far away. We butcher, prep, cook, deliver, staff and break down ourselves — for a Tuesday engineering lunch off Seaport Boulevard, a rehearsal dinner near downtown Redwood City, or a 250-guest reception on a lawn in Menlo Park.
A Redwood City team with a production kitchen behind it
Winslow's Catering Redwood City operates under Fresh Pulp Holdings LLC, a Bay Area catering group that runs several regional brands. Together those brands cater well over a thousand events a year and have served more than a million guests.
The benefit is unglamorous and important: your event is coordinated by someone who knows Peninsula logistics — badge-in rules on tech campuses, loading docks off Veterans Boulevard, what 101 and El Camino look like at 11:30 on a weekday — while the cooking happens in a kitchen with the capacity and purchasing power of a much larger operation. A twelve-person board lunch in San Carlos on Wednesday and a 200-guest wedding in Woodside on Saturday get the same discipline.
Grazing Table
Full-Service Dinner LineThe kitchen behind the menu
Jason has spent more than a decade writing this menu in the only place a catering dish is honestly tested: live service, forty minutes in, with a line of hungry guests in front of it. If a dish doesn't hold its texture on a chafer, survive the drive down the Peninsula and earn a second plate, it doesn't stay on the menu.
That standard produced a deliberately wide menu — Italian, Mexican, barbecue, Mediterranean and California classics — with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes written as real plates instead of afterthoughts. Proteins are cut in house, sauces and dressings are made from scratch, and the seasonal sections move with what coastal and valley growers are actually harvesting.

Our Peninsula work runs from a standing weekly office lunch to a formal evening reception. The formats we handle most:

- • Full-service events — galas, fundraisers, company milestones, conferences and holiday parties with uniformed staff
- • Drop-off catering for Redwood City offices, labs, meetings and neighborhood gatherings
- • 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

Redwood City is home base, and we cater across San Mateo County and the mid-Peninsula: Redwood City, Redwood Shores, San Carlos, Belmont, Menlo Park, Atherton, Woodside, Foster City, San Mateo, Palo Alto, Stanford, Los Altos Hills, Half Moon Bay, Moss Beach, Pacifica and Pescadero — plus the wider Bay Area for larger full-service events. One flat delivery rate covers our core Redwood City service area, so a downtown office pays the same as a hillside estate.
