About María Lluch Catering

Who is María Lluch

María Lluch Careaga founded María Lluch Catering in Madrid at the end of 2019. Since then she has led a business that combines its own kitchen, direct contact and a service designed so that clients have nothing to worry about on the day. Behind the name there is a real person, not a faceless brand, and it shows in every proposal.

When you write to us, you are talking to the María Lluch Catering team, and the proposal you receive is based on what you have told us, not on a fixed catalogue. If you would like to see how it works in practice, tell us about your event and we will reply with a tailored proposal.

Why we exist: so you can enjoy the event and leave the logistics to us

We exist to take the complexity out of organising an event, so that our clients, companies and families alike, can enjoy it with the peace of mind of flawless service. That is our purpose, and we sum it up in one line: personal service, exacting food, no surprises.

In practice it means three things:

• Listening first. Every client is different and every job is different, so we start from what you need and your circumstances, not from a fixed menu.
• Being clear. We tell you what the proposal includes and what we need from you before anything is agreed.
• Looking after the details. From how the tables are dressed to how guests are served, it is the small details that make an event.

How we work: a tailored proposal, from the first conversation to the service

We work in a direct, organised way: you tell us what you want to organise, we send you the option that best suits your needs and, once it is agreed, we cook and serve. The proposal is tailored 100% to your needs and circumstances, the format of the event and the number of guests.

1. You tell us your idea: type of event, date, number of guests and venue.
2. We prepare your proposal: menu and service adjusted to what you need.
3. We finalise it with you: we answer your questions and fine-tune the details.
4. We cook and serve: we deliver the menu and, when the format calls for it, our kitchen and waiting team looks after the event.

We explain the details of each step with the proposal.

Working this way has taken us to very different occasions, from intimate gatherings to large corporate events. You can see everything we do on our catering services page.

Our kitchen and our produce

We cook in Madrid, in Puente de Vallecas, with a stable team of kitchen, logistics and front-of-house staff. Our range goes from office breakfasts and cocktail receptions for companies to menus for celebrations at home, and from the starters, boards and homemade cakes on our menu to live cooking with Mexican and Peruvian food, with tacos made to order, ceviches and aguachiles prepared in front of your guests.

We work with carefully sourced produce: our menus include ingredients such as Iberian ham, porcini (boletus), truffle and king prawns. And the menu adapts: we can personalise it or build it from scratch, with vegetarian and vegan options. Every dish has its allergen sheet; tell us about any allergies and intolerances and we will adapt the menu. You can see examples of dishes on our catering delivery page.

One of our clients summed it up like this in her review: «Piensa en todos los detalles, desde la comida a la decoración de las mesas, incluso en la atención de los camareros» (Almudena G.) [“Every detail is thought through, from the food to how the tables are dressed, even the attentiveness of the waiting staff” (translated)]. We have a 5.0 rating on our Google listing, based on 8 reviews.

The team: kitchen, logistics and front of house, working for your event

Behind every service there is a stable team of kitchen, logistics and front-of-house staff. We take care of everything: transport, set-up, tableware, front-of-house staff if you need them and clear-up when we finish. They are part of the service, and it shows: in their reviews, clients mention the personal touch and how attentive the waiting staff are.

The aim never changes: what we propose is exactly what happens on the day.

Companies we have worked with

We are always pleased when a company comes back to us, because it is the best sign that the service works. If you are organising something for yours, see our corporate catering. You can see our work in the gallery and what our clients say in the reviews.

Where we have been featured

Our work has appeared in media such as El Mundo, Emprendedores and iFoodie. We are grateful for the recognition, but what we value most is the opinion of the people who hire us, who currently rate us 5.0 on Google. We work to make every event worthy of that score.
