Oakland thrives on diversity and innovation — and we’re not just talking about the people and the tech companies. When it comes to food, Oakland and the bay area have led the way in more sustainable, inclusive, and ethical food practices. As pioneers of vegan catering in Oakland ourselves, our Metal + Match team believes that vegan cuisine doesn’t have to make sacrifices. We specialize in bringing the best, most inventive, and flavorful dishes to impress even non-vegans with flavor.

Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering or massive event, our Oakland catering services are designed to make your event delicious no matter the ingredient restrictions.

Vegan Catering for Private Events

Why choose our vegan catering for your next event? Our menus offer three massive benefits that make us an excellent choice for any occasion. 

Inclusiveness: A vegan menu makes sure that everyone who attends your event can enjoy the dishes, from those following plant-based diets to those who have involuntary allergies or reactions.

Sustainability: Vegan dishes are often, though not always, more eco-friendly than their meat-based alternatives. They use fewer natural resources and have a lower carbon footprint, making them a more sustainable option.

Health & Wellness: Plant-based meals are lighter in calories, packed with nutrition, and a healthy option for guests who want to eat a little more mindfully.

Vegan Appetizers that Wow

Start your event with the right appetizers, and you’ll set the tone for an amazing experience from start to finish. Our approach to vegan appetizers involves the combo of flavorful tastes and stunning visual designs — of course all made with the freshest ingredients. 

Some of our favorites include roasted cauliflower bites, stuffed mini peppers, and carrot lox on crostini. These are all perfect for everything from cocktail hours to larger, longer events.

Creative Entrees for Every Taste

Now, on to the main course. Our vegan entrees are designed to be hearty, flavorful, and super satisfying. It all adds up to guests who leave feeling happy — and full. We offer a range of available options so that you can get creative and be inspired by a range of global cuisines and local ingredients. 

Our spicy cauliflower tacos are a favorite, as are our grilled vegetable stuffed peppers and mushroom & lentil shepherd’s pies. Or for a vegan classic, try zucchini noodles with pesto. You can’t miss it. 

These entrees are all not only delicious, but make for a beautiful presentation that will enhance the vibes at your entire event.

Decadent Vegan Desserts

We all know that no event is complete without a little sweet. But can vegan desserts really live up to the competition? Ours certainly do — even for the most discerning sweet tooth.

We craft delicious desserts that are as plant-based as they are amazing. From vegan chocolate mousse to coconut milk panna cotta, from lavender shortbread cookies to vegan glazed donuts — we’ve got the sweets covered.

Customizing Your Menu

Every event is unique, and your catering should reflect that. When you work with us, we’ll collaborate with you to create a custom vegan menu that matches your event’s theme, your guests’ preferences, and any dietary restrictions. 

We realize that you have a vision for your event, from the style of the food to the presentation, and our job is to make sure every dish aligns with the atmosphere you want to create.
