As the holidays approach, families and businesses across the Main Line and greater Philadelphia area are looking for food that not only tastes incredible but feels good to eat. At Tasty Table Catering, we believe that food made from scratch is food made with love. Every sauce, entrée, and sandwich that leaves our kitchen is crafted in-house using ingredients we know and trust.

“I like running a scratch kitchen because that’s the best way to put as much love as possible into our food,” says Executive Chef Motley. “As the chef, I can name every single ingredient that goes into every sauce and dish we make, and that makes me feel good.”

Our commitment to being a scratch kitchen goes beyond culinary pride. It’s part of our philosophy. We care deeply about where our ingredients come from and what goes into every bite. Whether it’s a corporate luncheon, a holiday cocktail party, or a family celebration, we believe guests deserve food that’s honest, thoughtful, and delicious.

A Healthier Approach to Catering

People today are more mindful than ever about what they eat. Chef Motley leads our team with that same mindfulness, making sure our dishes are not only flavorful but nourishing.

“A scratch kitchen lets us control the quality of our food,” she explains. “I’ve been trying to eat healthier myself, and that same goal extends to the people I serve. It’s nice to know that what we make every day is genuinely good for you.”

Recent studies have confirmed what chefs have long known: scratch cooking results in healthier meals with fewer additives and preservatives. It also supports local sourcing, sustainability, and transparency; values that sit at the heart of how we cook.

When you choose Tasty Table, you’re choosing catering that aligns with a movement toward fresher, more honest food, especially during the busy holiday season when healthy and hearty should go hand in hand.

From Our Family to Yours

For the owners of Tasty Table, the move toward wholesome, scratch-made food isn’t just a business choice, it’s personal.

“Over the past year I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of feeding my own growing family, three young boys and one more on the way, with as much whole food as possible,” shares co-owner Mary. “For our family, it’s so important to know how we’re fueling our bodies. We want our customers to have that same confidence in the food we prepare every day.”

That same care that goes into her family’s kitchen extends to the one at Tasty Table. Whether we’re serving a family gathering, a wedding reception, or a Main Line corporate luncheon, our goal is to offer food that nourishes both body and soul.

Made Fresh Daily, Served with Care

Our kitchen doesn’t rely on shortcuts or pre-packaged sauces. Everything is hand-chopped, roasted, simmered, and seasoned with care. When you order from Tasty Table, you’re getting food that’s as close to homemade as it gets without having to do the dishes.

This holiday season, consider choosing a local catering option that reflects your values. Whether you’re hosting in Bryn Mawr, Berwyn, or downtown Philadelphia, Tasty Table Catering brings fresh, from-scratch meals to your table, made with intention, integrity, and plenty of heart.

Looking Ahead: A Healthy Start to the New Year

While we’re busy preparing festive holiday menus, we’re already working on our January and February “Healthy New Year” menu for 2026. It’s designed for those looking to start the year on a lighter, cleaner note without sacrificing flavor.

Expect freshly pressed juices, roasted seasonal vegetables, hearty grain bowls, and lean proteins prepared with the same from-scratch care that defines everything we do. Whether you’re planning a post-holiday luncheon or a New Year wellness kickoff, we’ll have menus that make healthy eating taste as good as it feels.

Order your holiday catering now to secure your spot on our busy calendar and know that we’ll be here in January to help keep your resolutions going strong.
