Costa Mesa Holiday Catering for Family Tables and Office Parties
Holiday catering in Orange County should not dump you on a generic quote form. Deli Nerds runs a dedicated holiday path: four hard order-by dates, three guest-count frames, and the same slider, wrap, kabob, and cocktail packages Costa Mesa already orders for weekday lunches. We cook in a seed-oil-free kitchen with grass-fed, pasture-raised, and wild-caught proteins — then drop off or pack for pickup so you look like the hero.
Use this hub to pick your holiday, then order on our Square holiday catering page or request a custom quote for dietary notes, larger headcount, or a 72-hour custom menu.

What is included in the Family 8, Family 12, and Office 20+ trays?
Those names frame guest count using our existing catering packages — not new priced SKUs. Family 8 uses Slider or Wrap Package language (sliders or a dozen half-wraps, side salad, deli side, and cookies). Family 12 uses the Kabob Package (protein, rice, side salad, grilled veggies, and pita). Office 20+ is slider, wrap, and kabob trays for drop-off. Order on our Square holiday page or request a quote for a custom build.
Can I order online or do I need a quote?
Both. Named packages and holiday trays can be ordered on our Square holiday catering page. Larger gatherings, dietary-heavy menus, and 20+ office parties should request a quote — or call/text (714) 486-1777.
Is Deli Nerds holiday catering seed oil free?
Yes. We are a Seed Oil Free Kitchen. Dressings, sauces, and cooking use olive oil or avocado oil — never seed oils. Proteins are grass-fed, pasture-raised, or wild-caught.
