caterer
Party food supplier
A caterer is a person or business that provides food and drink for events, parties, or institutions.
The term implies preparing and serving meals off-site rather than in a restaurant: We hired a caterer for the wedding reception.
Caterers typically handle everything from cooking to setup to cleanup.
