Mediterranean Food
for Your Celebration
Graduation parties come in all sizes: intimate family dinners, backyard gatherings, community celebrations, and events for 100 or more guests. What they all share is the need for food that tastes memorable without requiring hours of kitchen prep. Phoenician Garden delivers Mediterranean family-style platters to your venue in Fresno or Clovis, ready to set out and serve.
The Football Feast package is the backbone of most graduation catering orders. At $243.80 per tray, it feeds 6 to 8 people with combo kebobs or chicken shawarma, rice pilaf, sauteed vegetables, garlic sauce, and warm pita. For a party of 30, order five trays. For 60 guests, order ten. The family-style format scales effortlessly, and every tray arrives in clearly labeled aluminum containers ready to set on a buffet table, picnic blanket, or catering station at a rented venue.
Appetizers create a grazing spread that guests enjoy during arrivals and throughout the event. The Family Mezza is a favorite for graduations: a large platter with house-made hummus, baba ghannouj, grape leaves, olives, warm pita, and fresh vegetables. Set it out early, and guests will eat continuously while mingling and celebrating. For dessert, the baklava tray is the signature finish: layers of crispy phyllo, walnuts, pistachios, and rosewater syrup that leave every guest impressed.
Dietary needs vary at graduation parties, and Mediterranean food naturally accommodates everyone. All proteins are prepared from trusted suppliers. Vegetarian guests enjoy falafel, hummus, baba ghannouj, and sauteed vegetables. One order works for the entire celebration, regardless of dietary preference. Delivery to your venue in Fresno or Clovis is coordinated at least 24 hours in advance to ensure your food arrives hot and on time. Call (559) 261-2747 to customize your menu and get a quote for your guest count.
