Fall in Philadelphia gives us plenty of reasons to gather. Football is back, Halloween is around the corner, Oktoberfest celebrations are underway, and cooler weather has everyone ready to trade summer schedules for cozy get-togethers.
Whether you’re planning an office football watch party, a Halloween celebration, a family gathering at home or a full-scale fall event, 12th Street Catering can help bring the season to the table.
With both Full-Service Catering and Delivered Catering, plus an in-house bakery and dedicated décor and design team, we can make your fall gathering as simple—or as customized—as you want it to be.
Football Watch Parties: Bring the Tailgate to You
In Philadelphia, football season is practically its own holiday.
A watch party is an easy way to bring employees, clients, friends or family together without the formality of a traditional event. And the food should be just as fun as the game.
For corporate groups, a football-themed lunch or office pep rally can help build excitement before a big game. Planning something at home? Delivered Catering makes it easy to feed a crowd while keeping the host out of the kitchen and in front of the TV.
Depending on the size and style of your gathering, 12th Street Catering offers two ways to tackle game day:
Delivered Catering is ideal for casual office gatherings, at-home watch parties and family get-togethers. Choose your menu, have it delivered and spend the rest of your time enjoying the party.
Full-Service Catering takes larger celebrations to the next level with service staff, food stations, bars, rentals, décor and other event details handled by our team.
And because no Philadelphia football party is complete without a little team spirit, our in-house bakery and design teams can help customize the celebration with themed desserts, displays and décor.
Celebrate Oktoberfest with a Seasonal Food Station
Fall also brings one of our favorite reasons to raise a glass: Oktoberfest.
Our Fall/Winter Full-Service Seasonal Menu includes an Oktoberfest station inspired by the flavors and festive spirit of the season. It’s an interactive addition to corporate celebrations, client events, fundraisers and private parties—and an easy way to give guests an experience beyond the traditional buffet.
Food stations can also help create movement and conversation throughout an event. Instead of simply serving dinner, they become part of the experience.
Pair an Oktoberfest-inspired menu with seasonal décor and a festive bar, and you have the foundation for a fall celebration guests will remember long after the last toast.
Halloween Parties That Go Beyond Candy
Halloween events give you permission to have a little more fun.
For offices, a Halloween lunch or happy hour can turn an ordinary workday into an opportunity for employees to connect. For families and friends, a catered Halloween party lets the host focus on costumes, games and guests instead of cooking and cleanup.
And this is where customization can make a big difference.
Our in-house bakery can create custom desserts designed around your event, while our in-house décor and design team can develop displays and visual elements to complement your theme.
Think beyond orange and black. A Halloween event can be sophisticated and moody, playful and colorful, or completely over the top. The food, desserts and design can all work together to create the atmosphere.
Fall Catering for the Office Doesn't Have to Mean a Major Event
Not every celebration needs invitations, rentals and months of planning.
Fall is filled with smaller opportunities to bring your team together: the first big football game of the season, a Friday office pep rally, Halloween lunch, employee appreciation gathering or simply an excuse to break up the workweek.
Delivered Catering is designed for exactly those moments.
Breakfasts, lunches, snacks, desserts and more can be delivered directly to your office, making it easier to turn an everyday gathering into something employees look forward to.
For larger company celebrations, our Full-Service team can manage the food, beverage, service, rentals, décor and event experience from beginning to end.
Make Fall Entertaining Easier at Home
The same goes for entertaining outside of the office.
Hosting friends for football? Planning a family Halloween party? Getting everyone together for a fall birthday or celebration?
Catering doesn't have to be reserved for weddings and large events. Delivered Catering can take one of the biggest items off your hosting checklist: feeding everyone.
You provide the guest list and the reason to celebrate. We'll help with the food.
One Team, Plenty of Ways to Celebrate Fall
The best fall event isn't necessarily the biggest or most elaborate. It's the one that gives people a reason to come together.
At 12th Street Catering, we create events throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding region, from casual Delivered Catering orders to fully produced celebrations. With culinary, bakery, décor and event expertise under one roof, our team can help create a gathering that feels intentional from the first bite to the final detail.
