The occasion

Thanksgiving catering in Los Angeles & Orange County

What it takes to cater thanksgiving well — the logistics, the timing, and how we make it work.

Thanksgiving is the one meal of the year where the table matters more than the menu. We cook the whole of it — the turkey, the sides people actually argue about, and the desserts — from scratch in one kitchen, and bring it to yours.

Every dish is halal · zabiha-sourced, including the turkey. That is the part most Los Angeles families spend November hunting for, and it means nothing on the table arrives with a caveat or needs a separate plate.

Delivered hot and timed to your sitting, or staffed and served if you would rather not leave the room. November fills from late October — the earlier a date is on our board, the more of the menu stays open to you.

Why Carthage

Why Carthage for thanksgiving

What you get with us for thanksgiving specifically — not a generic catering pitch.

  • Halal turkey, not an afterthought

    The centerpiece is halal · zabiha-sourced like everything else we cook, prepared in the same kitchen as the rest of the meal. For most families that is the hardest thing to source in November, and it is the reason this page exists.

  • The whole table, or just the hard parts

    Take the full holiday spread, or only what you would rather not cook — the turkey and the roasting, while the sides stay yours. Priced per guest either way, so you are not paying for what you did not order.

  • Delivered hot, or served

    Drop-off timed to your sitting rather than to a delivery window, with everything ready to go straight to the table. Staffed service with setup and clearing is there for hosts who want to actually sit down.

  • One table, every diet

    Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free tracks are cooked alongside the main service and labeled at the table, so they read as part of the meal rather than a substitution handed to one guest.

Questions

Before you ask

Is the turkey halal?
Yes. The turkey is halal · zabiha-sourced, as is every other protein we cook, and it is prepared in the same kitchen as the rest of the meal — there is no separate supply chain to ask about.
When do I need to order Thanksgiving catering by?
Earlier than most people expect. November fills from late October, and the full menu stops being available once the kitchen is booked. If you have a date, put it on our board — guest counts can be adjusted later.
Can you deliver hot on Thanksgiving Day?
Yes. We time delivery to your sitting rather than to a delivery window, so everything arrives ready to go to the table. Staffed service with setup and clearing is also available if you would rather not manage it.
Can I order only part of the meal?
Yes. Many households take the turkey and the roasting and keep the sides as their own. Pricing is per guest either way, so you only pay for what you order.
What about guests who do not eat meat?
Vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options are cooked alongside the main service and labeled at the table, so they are part of the meal rather than a substitution.
