The 5 Best Caterers Around Lake Tahoe Region

From lakeside weddings to corporate retreats to a party in the mountains, great catering is about creating a spread that brings people together. From gourmet platters to boxed lunches and breakfast bars, South Lake Tahoe’s catering scene offers a range of styles and flavors to match the area’s laid-back yet discerning vibe. The Best of Tahoe recognizes community caterers that go beyond simply delivering food.

The Cork & More

For more than 40 years, The Cork & More has been a trusted name in Lake Tahoe’s food and wine community, and their catering services reflect that same experience-driven approach. What began as a specialty cheese and wine shop has expanded into a full-service delicatessen, bakery, and catering operation. Their offerings include thoughtfully assembled charcuterie boards, custom entrees, and seasonal desserts that suit everything from casual gatherings to formal events. With a focus on quality ingredients and personalized service, they build catering menus that feel curated rather than templated.

Tahoe Bagel Company

Tahoe Bagel Company may be known for its hand-rolled, boiled bagels and East Coast flair, but its catering menu takes that identity and scales it up without losing the charm. The family-run shop offers trays stacked with fresh bagels, smoked salmon spreads, breakfast sandwiches and deli-style sides that work for everything from morning meetings to après-ski brunches. Because everything is made in-house — from the bagels to the cream cheese varieties — the flavors stay sharp and consistent, even in large orders.

Beach Hut Deli

With roots in California’s surf culture and a love for big, flavorful sandwiches, Beach Hut Deli delivers catering with a laid-back attitude and serious portions. Their South Lake Tahoe location serves up crowd-pleasing subs, wraps, salads and party trays that are built for sharing. Each sandwich is packed with fresh ingredients — avocado, sprouts, pepperoncini, pastrami, turkey — all layered into soft rolls or wheat wraps and cut for easy group service. The catering menu reflects the brand’s casual vibe, but it’s also organized and efficient, helping hosts feed groups without the stress.
