Why Arnold Chooses Grgich Family Catering

Supporting Calaveras County County's community with professional catering that understands Arnold's unique event needs and local preferences.

High-Altitude Catering

Cooking at elevation requires adjustments that most caterers don't know about. We've figured out the timing and temperatures for mountain conditions. Your food comes out perfect whether we're at 2,000 feet or 7,000 feet.

Self-Contained Operation

Mountain venues often don't have commercial kitchens or reliable power. Our rig brings everything we need—smokers, generators, prep equipment, refrigeration. If you've got a parking spot, we can feed your guests.

Worth the Drive

Yes, Arnold is a bit off the beaten path. That's part of why people love it up here. And it's why we make the trip—mountain communities deserve good catering too, not just leftover options from caterers who won't travel.
