Partners David Ashley, Laura Lyons and Mark Walker started the company in 1999 on a mission to bring restaurant caliber cuisine and service to a catering industry accustomed to hotel banquet standards. Our restaurant ownership and management backgrounds enabled us to think outside of the “catering box,” leading us to develop such catering firsts as large scale multi-ethnic stations menus. We are also proud to be the first Northern California large-scale caterer to practice a full spectrum of eco-friendly, sustainable "green" solutions in our daily business practices, having received our Bay Area Green Business Certification in 2008.

Global Gourmet has emerged as the Bay Area’s leading full-service catering company on the strength of our commitment to deliver restaurant-caliber food, impeccable service, trend-setting design and attention to detail at every event. We would be honored to share our expertise and standards with you and your families to make your day absolutely perfect.
