Monterey County Catering — Coastal Roots Hospitality

Coastal Roots Events & Catering serves the Monterey Peninsula, including Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Carmel Valley, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, Seaside, and Marina. Catering is available at private homes, estates, offices, and licensed event venues, as well as inside our three restaurant venues.

Book as early as your date is firm. Monterey's event calendar concentrates between late spring and October, and those weekends overlap with Car Week in August and the Bach Festival in July. Saturdays in that window commit first. Smaller weekday events can often be arranged on shorter notice.

Yes. Off-site catering is a core service. Our team brings kitchen equipment, service staff, and a full front-of-house setup to locations without a commercial kitchen, including private residences, estates, gardens, ranches, and offices. A site visit happens before the event so the crew knows the layout, power access, and service flow.

Weddings and rehearsal dinners, corporate meetings and retreats, holiday parties, celebrations of life, graduations, milestone birthdays, fundraisers, and private dinners. Events range from small seated dinners to large receptions. See Monterey wedding catering or corporate event catering for detail on the two most requested.

Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-conscious, and allergy-specific menus are standard requests, not exceptions. Share dietary details during menu planning so the kitchen can build them into service rather than improvise on the day.

Yes. Catering includes service staff and bartenders, and our events team coordinates rentals such as tables, linens, glassware, and place settings. Florals, A/V, and specialty cocktails can be arranged through the same coordinator instead of sourced separately.

Menus are built around Monterey Bay seafood, Salinas Valley produce, and Central Coast wines. The same kitchens cook this food nightly at Montrio, Tarpy's, and Rio Grill, so recipes are tested continuously rather than only on event days.

Send your date, guest count, and location through the inquiry form on this page, or call 831-647-1085. Every event is quoted individually because cost depends on guest count, menu, staffing, and venue, so there is no fixed package price.
