Claudia's Creative Catering has cooked for 2,500+ events in 15 years, all from one kitchen in Rogers that serves ten Northwest Arkansas towns. Weddings, office lunches, parties, and hot drop-off trays each get a menu built for the event and cooked from scratch.
Most events fit one of these four. What sets them apart is who's eating, where, and whether you want staff to stay and serve.

Across the catering trade, drop-off usually covers the food, delivery, disposable pans, basic utensils, and light setup, while full service adds staff, setup, serving, rentals, and cleanup, per Personal Touch Dining's comparison of the two.
Claudia's Creative Catering feeds hospital staff, clinic teams, and pharma-rep lunch-and-learns, set up before the meeting starts. The PhRMA Code asks that a rep's meal be modest and served with a presentation, so tell us the setting and we'll plan the menu around it.
Claudia's Creative Catering portions every dish from your guest count. As a rough general guide, CaterCow's party-planning figures put total food at 1 to 1.5 pounds per adult, and they call running short the most common mistake when many guests are teenagers.
