100 Years of Experience!
It’s hard to believe, but when the numbers are added our staff has over 100 years of combined food service experience. Through a continuing passion to bring the best food products available to our area, we have all come together and created Avenue Catering.
Avenue Catering has been operating for over 5 years. It was created to fill a need; that need was great food that could be served anywhere, anytime. All of us at Avenue Catering are always up for a challenge and so we were up for the task.
Our journey has taken us from serving intimate dinners for 4 to catering events that number in the thousands. Avenue Catering is available to serve all groups, all sizes at any location in Western Washington State.
