Why Us
How Does it Work?
We understand that planning and hosting an event can be stressful, so we’re here to make sure that everything goes smoothly, from start to finish.
The Details
We cater a variety of events, from corporate parties to casual luncheons to large fundraising events. We’ll start by gathering some details, including the type of event, the number of guests, your budget, the timing, and the location. From this, we will start creating a menu that is the perfect complement for the event’s theme and style.
The Food
You can rely on Rush Hour Catering to deliver food that is always fresh and delicious. Together, we’ll create a personalized menu based on your needs and the type of event you’re throwing. We love talking about food, so we’re more than happy to discuss what menu items we have, if any guests have dietary restrictions, and what else we can do to make your event memorable.
Anything Else?
After years of providing catered meals to areas throughout the Redwood City and Silicon Valley area, we have worked with countless businesses and organizations and we know what it takes for an event to be successful. No detail is too small and no event is too big for Rush Hour Catering. Just let us know what your vision is and we’ll be there with fresh and delicious food.
Rush Hour Catering was founded in 1982 by Patricia Stoll and Mary Noonan, two Ravenswood City School District teachers, who were inspired to provide wholesome gourmet “Take Out” dinners for working professionals tired of Pizza every night!
Rush Hour was initially located at the Keystone Nightclub in Palo Alto, where Patty and Mary prepared meals for such musicians as Billy Idol and Neil Young – while continuing to build their takeout service. However it soon became apparent that their business was growing in a different direction, and they eventually moved into their own space where they made the transition to a full service catering company.
A successful event is about more than delicious food, It’s about great service. Today, Rush Hour has built a strong reputation for providing fresh, delicious and reasonably priced meals for private parties as well as local Corporations, Law Firms, Foundations, and Universities. Whether it is a personal party, your company’s annual picnic, or even a weekly staff luncheon, Rush Hour Catering wants to help make your upcoming event a memorable one.
