Let’s be real. Hosting an event sounds fun ... until you remember you have to feed people. That’s where we come in. Lazy Dog Catering was made for those moments when your to-do list is long but your guest list is longer.

We believe something special happens when people come together around the table, whether it’s your coworkers, your neighbors or your best friends from college. It’s not just about the food (although we’ve got that covered) — it’s about the time shared and memories made.

So whether you're throwing a party, gathering the work crew or celebrating something cute (like a new baby or your dog’s birthday — we don’t judge), we’ve got handcrafted comfort food ready to roll.

Here are 5 events that get a major upgrade when Lazy Dog Catering is on the guest list:

1. The Office Lunch that Deserves Better than Pizza

We love a good slice, but we love giving your team something fresh and exciting even more. The Build Your Own Blackened Chicken is full of bold flavor and totally DIY, so coworkers can customize their bowl just the way they like it. Fewer complaints. More happy forks.

Perfect pick: Blackened Chicken + Spanish rice + Tapatío crema = office MVP.

2. Showers with Actual Flavor

Baby shower? Bridal shower? Whatever the occasion, soggy finger sandwiches and carrot sticks don’t cut it. Sweeten the spread with our Butter Cake + Brownie Bites add-on served with strawberry compote and chocolate sauce. They’re easy to serve and impossible to forget.

Host tip: Just go for both desserts. You won’t regret it.

3. Birthday Parties Without the Birthday Meltdown

Whether it's your kid, your roommate or your golden retriever turning a year older, Lazy Dog Catering keeps everyone happy (and well-fed). Our Sandwich + Salad bundle is a crowd-pleaser with something for every taste and every age. Skip the kitchen chaos and focus on the cake smash.

Party trick: Order a couple of extra Butter Cake + Brownie Bites. Hide a tray for yourself.

4. Neighborhood Hangouts (So You’re Not the One Grilling)

Summer nights were made for backyard hangs, block parties and front porch lemonade. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just want to keep things easy, our catering bundles take care of the food so you can focus on the fun.

Neighborhood peace offering: Grab a couple gallons of our Handcrafted Lemonade. The Huckleberry is a fan favorite — sweet, tart and totally unexpected. It’s the kind of drink that turns neighbors into friends. (Strawberry’s a hit, too.)

5. Last-Minute Plans. Or No Plans at All.

You don’t need a big milestone to enjoy comfort food with your crew. Whether it’s an impromptu hang, a casual catch-up or a “let’s not cook tonight” kind of moment, Lazy Dog Catering has you covered.

Most underrated order: Build Your Own Mediterranean Chicken. It’s colorful and fresh, and somehow makes any get-together feel like a celebration.
