Gaw Catering has long been a household name in Basel. We make a promise with our name: We want to offer you a fine, fresh and friendly culinary service.

Fine

Enjoy lovingly crafted, creatively prepared and modernly presented dishes. We treat the products with respect and attach great importance to preserving the natural flavors and characteristics of the food.

Fresh

Enjoy sustainable, natural cuisine. Regional and seasonal produce and dishes are just as important to us as the fresh preparation of the food.

Service

Good service cannot be described -
but you notice bad service immediately ...

On request: full service - sit back and enjoy the occasion with your guests!

We will spoil you just as skilfully with home-made delicacies as with comprehensive, perfect organization. According to
your wishes, we organize your event, whether private or business, from an aperitif to an exquisite 5-course menu, from a barbecue to a stand-up lunch to an opulent buffet. We are also happy to help you find the ideal venue.
