Holiday catering, made for gathering.
The holidays belong around a table.
Breakfast with the team. A lunch that becomes a celebration. Something sweet to share before everyone heads home. Ellie’s Table brings the Jay’s Catering kitchen to the occasions that fill the season.
Start the celebration with breakfast.
Coffee, pastries, and breakfast for the team, a morning party, or the people visiting for the holidays. Tell us where you’re gathering and we’ll help plan the table.
Plan breakfast →Give the team a holiday lunch.
Sandwiches, wraps, salads, and catering trays for a year-end thank-you, a client lunch, or an afternoon together. Keep the food generous and the gathering easy.
Plan lunch →An evening for good food and company.
Dinner favorites for holiday parties at home or with the whole company. Choose from flavorful chickens and decadent roasts with comforting side dishes and crisp salads to round out your meal.
Plan the evening →Made for mingling.
Perfectly paired bites for corporate happy hours and festive gatherings. Our Entertaining Collections bring together favorites that display beautifully, whether you’re planning a meal that leaves more room to mingle or something lighter before dinner.
Leave room for something sweet.
Festive macarons, gingersnaps, and sweet trays for a holiday afternoon with friends or the dessert table at your office party. A little something to share, wherever the season takes you.
