san diego is a gastronomically diverse city, with every type of food available from fancy ocean-view restaurants down to tiny taco stands and roaming food trucks. but when it comes to catering an event for a crowd, the possibilities outside of expensive catering firms seem to narrow down to pizza or not-so-healthy platters from your favorite mexican or italian joints.
if you’re hosting an upcoming event and want to offer your guests mouth-watering options that won’t bust their belts (or your budget), big front door’s catering service offers gourmet deli sandwiches plus full meals, sides, salads, and desserts for any size gathering. here’s a sampling of how bfd’s healthy and affordable catering service can make your next event deliciously memorable:

corporate event lunch

when you’re hunkering down for hours—or days—in a busy conference setting, soaking in forecasts and synergies and strategies for the future, the last thing you and your great ideas need is a greasy fast-food combo or disappointing box lunch sloshing around your belly all afternoon. instead, go for bfd’s build-your-own mini sandwich trays, which include house smoked turkey, double-smoked berkshire ham, roast beef, cheddar, and provolone served with mini sandwich rolls and accompaniments.
company picnic
spring is a great time for smaller companies to get everyone out in the fresh air for a group picnic, and bfd makes outdoor eating easy with our boxed lunch sets. trust us, these aren’t your ordinary bland turkey sandwiches. at bfd, we offer gourmet creations like the turkey cheddar mousse sandwich with smoked cheddar mousse and sun dried tomato vinaigrette. or the loins of fire sandwich with chili roast pork loin, pickled onion, and garlic aioli. our boxed lunches also include chips and a chocolate chip cookie. wanna get creative? we can spice it up for you by adding sides like pesto orzo or red curry quinoa for an extra charge.
book club
we all know most book clubs are as much about drinking, eating, and gossiping as they are about book discussion, so if it’s your turn to host next, go all out for your bookworm pals. we suggest the house smoked salmon and meat assortment combined with our artisan cheese platter (including maytag bleu, humboldt fog, gouda, and more). then add a seasonal vegetable crudité platter and, of course, goodies from our craft beer and wine shop. because, well…book club.
baby or bridal shower
opening presents to see adorable little baby clothes or naughty honeymoon outfits, is arguably the highlight of these gatherings, but you can ensure the catering is a close second. for a light but filling shower menu, try bfd’s house smoked salmon platter, served with capers, lemon, cream cheese and french bread, plus a pan or two of salad. favorites include the cobb-ler (smoked turkey, avocado, egg, crumbled maytag bleu cheese) and the avoberry (strawberry, avocado, almonds, goat cheese). and don’t forget the dessert—we recommend our chocolate bombs or a few dozen of our homemade cookies.
wedding
whether you’re having a traditional or unconventional wedding, bfd has your catering needs covered. nope, not just deli food. we also cater full dinners, like our lemon and fennel roasted salmon (served with french green beans and orzo pilaf) or the house-smoked turkey breast dinner (served with candied bacon stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy and cranberry relish). and if you want to get real adventurous with your wedding meal, we also offer a boneless baby back bbq rib dinner, served with chipotle potato salad and sesame slaw.
