About us

A Pune catering house built around chefs, not shortcuts

Welcome Caterers cooks across more than 25 cuisines for weddings, large corporate events and private celebrations throughout Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar. Our kitchens are run by chefs trained in their own specialities — Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lebanese, Mughlai, Gujarati, Malvani — so each menu tastes the way it should, not like a compromise.

We cook live at your venue wherever possible, bring our own equipment and service brigade, and stay until the site is clear. From a 100-guest house party in Koregaon Park to a 50,000-guest wedding in Lonavala, the same standards apply.

Looking for menus, per-plate bands and lead times instead? That is all on the homepage.

Where we load in

Pune · Pimpri-Chinchwad · Hinjewadi · Hadapsar · Kharadi · Lonavala · Khandala · Panchgani · Mahabaleshwar

Chefs are hired into a discipline, not a rota: Indian regional and tandoor, Pan-Asian wok and dimsum, European pasta and grill, Middle Eastern charcoal, and a pastry team that does nothing else.
We own our counters, chafing equipment, facades and crockery rather than hiring them in, which is why a Lonavala farmhouse gets the same setup as a Koregaon Park banquet hall.
Vegetarian, Jain, satvik and vegan preparations run on their own equipment with their own utensils and oil — a kitchen decision made once, not negotiated per event.
Food is cooked at the venue and finished on the counter. Where a dish genuinely has to be prepped ahead, it travels chilled rather than cooked.
Every event has one named supervisor holding the timing sheet from load-in to clearance, so there is never a question about who to ask on the day.
One office quotes, one team cooks and one team serves. We do not subcontract the service brigade to whoever is free that weekend.
