New Year's Eve catering in Costa Mesa, for hosts who want the board without the velvet rope. Deli Nerds packs Cocktail Package small bites, Slider Package trays, and kabob spreads from our Mesa Verde kitchen — Family 8, Family 12, or Office 20+ if the house party got out of hand.
Order by Monday, December 29. NYE is Thursday, December 31, and it is one of the busiest catering days of the year. Pickup in Costa Mesa or delivery across Orange County. Confirm your pickup window when you order — this is a catering ticket, not a walk-in.
How NYE Usually Looks
Bites, Trays, Boards
Cocktail bites
Our Cocktail Package is small bites and appetizers designed for mingling — the NYE shape if nobody is sitting down for a plated dinner.
Slider trays
Slider Package: your choice of sliders, side salad, deli side, and cookies. Easy to graze. Easy leftovers for January 1.
Boards & kabobs
Kabob Package plus the grazing boards we already run for social events. Request a quote if you want a custom mix — we will not invent a priced NYE SKU here.
Named Bundles
Family 8 · Family 12 · Office 20+
Existing packages, NYE guest counts. Order or request a quote — no fake champagne-board price.
Family table, about 8 guests
Family 8
Built around our Slider Package: your choice of sliders, side salad, deli side, and cookies. Easy, fun, and sized for a family table — or swap in the Wrap Package (a dozen half-wraps, side salad, deli side, and cookies).
Family table, about 12 guests
Family 12
Built around our Kabob Package: choice of protein, rice, side salad, grilled veggies, and pita. Add-ons available for a complete spread — the same curated package language we use year-round, framed for a bigger family holiday table.
Office drop-off, 20 or more guests
Office 20+
Office holiday drop-off using our Slider, Wrap, and Kabob trays — the packages your team already knows. Same-day delivery for gatherings up to 20; custom menus with a 72-hour lead for larger office parties. Cocktail Package small bites available for mingling.
Still Scratch-Made
The Kitchen Does Not Take New Year's Off
High-Quality Proteins
All of our proteins are grass-fed, wild-caught, and pasture-raised — always free of hormones, antibiotics, and nitrates.
Locally Sourced Produce
Our produce is hand-selected each morning from local farmers markets and delivered fresh, farm-to-table.
Seed Oil Free Kitchen
All of our dressings, sauces, and cooking are made in-house with only olive oil or avocado oil — no seed oils, ever.

What should I order for an NYE house party?
Cocktail Package (small bites and appetizers designed for mingling) plus slider trays is the usual NYE shape. Family 8 / Family 12 cover a seated-ish group; Office 20+ is the bigger house party. We do not list a fake grazing-board price — order the packages or request a quote.
When is the NYE catering deadline?
Order by Monday, December 29. New Year's Eve is Thursday, December 31. NYE is one of the busiest catering days of the year — do not wait until that Monday if you need a custom menu (72 hours).
Do you stay open for NYE pickup?
Confirm pickup time when you order — our posted Sunday hours are 9am–3pm and weekday hours vary, so NYE (a Thursday) should be booked as a catering pickup, not a walk-in. Call or text (714) 486-1777 to lock a window.
Is NYE catering seed oil free?
Yes. Seed Oil Free Kitchen — olive oil and avocado oil only.
