ABOUT US    

Company History
J&V Catering, a Minority-Owned Business, managed by our sister company, Penisula Catering was founded on the principles of integrity, consistency, continual improvement and the desire to exceed customer expectations, and we have grown to become a cornerstone in catering high-quality events of all sizes for San Francisco and the Bay Area.

We have over five-hundred corporate clients in all fields (private catering is also available), providing a myriad of culinary options for all tastes and occasions.
Nestled in the heart of the historic San Francisco Wholesale Produce Market, the company chefs take great pride in hand-picking the freshest ingredients, including local and organic as available.
We will bring a new level of taste and presentation to make every event truly memorable.

Catering is our true passion, and it will be impossible not to appreciate our devotion and personal approach in every event served. We comply with high liability insurance, and are one of the exclusive catering companies to offer full-liquor license to operate off-site, not to mention we implement comprehensive Green practices on and off premises, and take a personal approach to every event, making a commitment to create lasting memories.

Green Practices
Our commitment to excellence in service equally reflects on our commitment to the environment; sustainability is a big part of our day-to-day operations and, from preparation to execution, it is a palpable component of J&V.
