Small to Large-Scale Catering in Seoul: Cocktail Party & Finger Food Catering Menu Guide

As the catering market in Korea continues to grow, we'd like to share a brief look at the origins of catering. The background information and event photos in this post come from an interview with Chef's Table Catering, part of the Fat Boy Group, led by a New York-trained chef ready to set the standard for VIP catering in Korea.

Catering is now commonly requested for school events, corporate events, and government office functions. Chef's Table Catering has extensive experience with international events held in Korea, as well as government functions, international schools, and foreign schools. The photos below illustrate what that work looks like.

So where does the word "catering" actually come from? Here is how Google Dictionary defines it:

The professional provision of food and beverages at social events, gatherings, and functions.

The word "cater" originates from Old French and originally meant "to buy." The term "catering" became much more widely known entering the 2000s, reaching peak mainstream use between 2002 and 2008.

When clients hire a catering company, they receive food, equipment, and supplies from a professional team — whether for a private gathering or a public event. Individuals call on professional caterers for personal parties, while companies, government offices, schools, churches, and other organizations rely on them for official functions, special events, and VIP occasions.

Event planning involves many details that need careful attention. That is exactly why professional catering exists — to help your event run smoothly and look its best. This is the work of catering professionals and catering coordinators.
