Welcome to Our Kitchen Philosophy
At Food Room, we believe catering is much more than feeding people—it’s about telling a story, creating an atmosphere, and bringing people together over beautifully crafted dishes. Whether you’re organizing a dreamy wedding on the beach or an intimate gathering in a private villa, we’re here in Marbella to make your celebration deliciously unforgettable.
Planning an event, especially from abroad, can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve prepared this guide—not just as professionals, but as passionate hosts who’ve helped hundreds of clients from all over the world enjoy their perfect event in the Costa del Sol.
Understanding the Marbella Catering Scene—Through Our Eyes
Marbella is a culinary canvas, and we’re lucky to paint on it every day. With influences from traditional Andalusian cuisine to modern Mediterranean fusion, the city offers a wealth of flavor. But what makes catering in Marbella truly special is the mix of cultures—our clients come from everywhere, and we love adapting to that.
At Food Room, we’ve served tapas on boats, crafted plant-based menus for wellness retreats, and designed elegant sit-down dinners for luxury weddings. We know this city, and more importantly, we know what works (and what doesn’t) in each unique setting.
Types of Catering We Offer at Food Room
Each event is different, and so is the way we cater it. Here’s a taste of what we do:
Wedding Catering

Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment—and we take that seriously. From vibrant cocktail hour stations to multi-course menus served under the stars, we’ll co-create every detail with you. Some of our favourite moments have been watching a bride tear up over the paella her grandmother used to make — just how we recreated it.
Corporate & Business Catering

We know timing is everything in business. That’s why our corporate catering is efficient, elegant, and always tailored to your goals—be it a casual brainstorming lunch or a high-stakes client presentation. We’ve worked with local brands and international companies alike, always delivering with a smile (and strong coffee, if needed).
Yacht Catering

Marbella meets the sea, and so do we. We offer specialized yacht catering, from picnic-style luxury platters to full-course meals that hold up beautifully on deck. If you’re sailing out for a sunset or celebrating at sea, we’ve got your menu — and logistics — covered.
Private Chef & In-Villa Catering

Sometimes, the best events are the ones at home. We bring the full Food Room experience to your villa, terrace, or Airbnb. Our private chef service includes setup, serving, and cleanup—so you get restaurant-level magic without ever leaving your pool.
Cooking Classes & Culinary Experiences

We don’t just cook—we teach, we inspire, we laugh. Our cooking classes are some of the most-loved parts of what we do. Whether you’re learning to make authentic gazpacho or preparing a gourmet feast with your team, our workshops end with a beautifully catered tasting, made by you, guided by us.
How We Help You Choose the Right Catering Service
We’ve been in your shoes—trying to make the right decision, from miles away, sometimes without even seeing the venue. That’s why we’ve simplified our process and personalized every step.
We Listen to Your Story
Every event has a reason. Maybe it’s your daughter’s 40th birthday. Maybe it’s your company’s first retreat since lockdown. We start by understanding your “why”—and build the menu, mood, and service around that.
We Customize Everything
No two menus are the same. From vegan mezze platters to seafood tasting journeys, we adapt our dishes to your dietary preferences, culinary culture, and creative ideas.
We Know the Local Scene
From Marbella’s best-kept venues to last-minute ingredient sourcing—we’ve got the connections, experience, and agility to pull off events others wouldn’t dare take on.
Budgeting: Quality Catering Without the Guesswork
At Food Room, we believe transparency is key. That’s why we work closely with you to define a realistic budget that reflects both your expectations and the experience you want your guests to enjoy. Whether you’re planning an intimate dinner or a 100-person celebration, we provide clear pricing and flexible packages.
We’ll always walk you through:
- Per person cost estimates
- Menu suggestions based on your budget
- Optional add-ons like staff, decor, drinks, or custom setups
No hidden fees, no surprises—just good food and honest service.
Why We Love Local Ingredients (And You Will Too)
Marbella is a culinary playground for fresh, seasonal produce—and we make the most of it. We’re proud to source ingredients from local markets, organic farms, and Andalusian suppliers we trust.
When you book a catering experience with Food Room, you’ll often enjoy:
- Sun-ripened vegetables from Málaga orchards
- Olive oil pressed from local groves
- Fresh-caught seafood from the Mediterranean
- Artisanal cheeses and cured meats from nearby villages
We believe that great food starts with great sourcing. It’s our way of supporting the community while offering the richest flavors on your plate.
Tailoring Menus to Your Occasion (And Imagination)
Every event has its own soul—and we’re here to feed it. We love designing menus that reflect the mood, season, and spirit of your special day.
Weddings
Think romantic canapés, elegant mains, and a dessert station that gets talked about for years. We’ll even match your colour scheme!
Birthdays & Anniversaries
Whether it’s a boho brunch or a candlelit rooftop dinner, we’ll bring your theme to life—on the table and in every bite.
Corporate Events
From energizing breakfasts to sophisticated business dinners, our menus are designed to nourish teams and impress partners.
Yacht Parties
Portable, elegant, and wave-proof. We create dishes that are light, luxurious, and easy to enjoy while cruising the Marbella coast.
