Services
We started our company in 1981 with the goal of preparing great food and sending it wherever and whenever our customers needed it to be served. This has taken us to the deserts and the mountains, all over the state of New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, and Utah. We've gone to Napa Valley, California to cook for the Mondavi Winery, shipped food across state lines by Federal Express, and sent dinner along with customers leaving town for the holidays.
Walter Burke Catering is a full-service catering business and can supply the necessary planning, equipment, services, and cuisine to make your event a success. We can help you with making arrangements for florists, entertainers, cake designers, photographers, audio-visual personnel, valet, and security.
If you would like to add a side salad or beverage, each item would be an additional charge per person. All box meals are packaged in compostable containers made from cardboard. Our utensils are also compostable and made from cornstarch. A 30% charge will be added to any changes to the menu, which includes gluten-free requests.
An elegant cake for any occasion! Three layers of Vanilla Genoise flavored with a hint of Almond, filled with Seasonal Fresh Berries and Grand Marnier scented Whipped Cream. Three moist layers of Hand Grated Carrot and Chopped Nuts, filled with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting flavored with a hint of Lemon Zest and garnished with Crushed Walnuts.

Walter Burke recently catered our wedding and did an outstanding job. Alexandra is so wonderful to work with, she was incredibly helpful in helping us to manage the entire process, creating a specialized menu, and coordinating assistance with set up at the venue. Tia, our catering captain, was also incredible. She was prepared, organized and hands on in helping to ensure we had the best service. Tia went above and beyond helping us with venue set up, decorated our cake beautifully and was so kind.

I felt so relieved after our final walkthrough after talking with Tia and had full confidence that she would take care of everything, and she did not disappoint! In addition to the food itself being great (including vegan options!) the service, staff and bartenders were amazing as well. We loved working with Walter Burke and couldn't have asked for a more positive and comfortable experience.

Walter Burke catered my mom's memorial service of 50 people. Alexandra was an absolute pleasure to work with. Professional, proactive, responsive, flexible and very reliable. The food was fairly priced and absolutely delicious and her staff and employees were very professional, kind and patient and did a great job led by Evan. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in the greater Santa Fe area.

Wow! They are an incredible team! Angela, Diedre, Eduardo are all examples of people that are passionate and are committed to great work! We hosted a rehearsal dinner and wedding with them and both nights they exceeded my expectations. Quick service, on-time (no delays whatsoever), excellent food and taste, friendly and helpful staff. They got it all down to the very last detail. Thank you!

Walter Burke Catering did an amazing job catering our wedding! Angela and Walter were great to work with. We had to alter our wedding plans because of COVID-19 and Walter Burke Catering made it possible even with the last minute changes. The food was incredible, the catering staff were professional and friendly and Angela did an awesome job as our day-of coordinator. We are so grateful to Walter Burke Catering and could not recommend them more!

Walter and Angela catered a birthday dinner and it was so incredible! The meal was buffet style, and the portions were perfect. Generous and not too much. We had a small amount of leftovers of just the right things : Bison tenderloin, roasted corn and potato green chili stew, a few sides, and a stellar salad! Everything was packed ready to go in the over, with clear directions on how to cook / prepare.

Their communication was excellent, I got an immediate response when I first reached out, and they worked with me quickly and patiently to sculpt the perfect menu for my group! Couldn't recommend Walter Burke Catering more!

Do not hesitate to book with Walter Burke Catering for your next event! We decided to book with Walter Burke after reading their reviews, but they even exceeded our expectations. The food at our wedding was DELICIOUS and all of our guests agreed. Generous sized portions as well. I also want to specifically applaud Tia. She went above and beyond for us from the get-go. Tia was professional, did an excellent job communicating with us, and was just so so helpful during the planning process. Thank you, Tia!

We used Walter Burke for our post-wedding brunch and they were excellent. Eduardo, the team captain, was exceptional. He was so sweet and attentive to our needs. The whole team provided a beautiful experience that was effortless and affordable.

Walter Burke Catering helped to make our son and his wife's Santa Fe wedding even more perfect than it already was. Their communications were prompt and friendly and they did everything they promised, just exactly as we expected. The food was AMAZING, our captain, Brian Meade, was kind and professional, adding a personal reassuring touch to the evening meal.

They catered a brunch for us the morning after the wedding that was relaxed and delicious. It was the perfect end to a perfect event. You can hire WBC with confidence. Highly recommended!

We used Walter Burke as our caterer to our wedding several weeks ago, and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable. I would certainly recommend Walter Burke, Angela and their staff to anyone, and will use them again in the future.
