Hill Country Catering Company

Hill Country Catering Company is a catering business in San Marcos, TX. The company creates chef‑curated culinary experiences for weddings, social and private events, and craft‑service or production catering. It emphasizes locally sourced, seasonal menus drawn from farms and ranches across Central Texas to the Gulf Coast, and it accommodates dietary restrictions such as gluten‑free, vegan, vegetarian, and shellfish‑free options. Operating from kitchens in Austin and San Marcos, Hill Country Catering Company serves clients throughout Austin, San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country, and the broader Central Texas region. The business holds a 4.80 rating.

The company was founded by Executive Chef Shannon Van Dorn, whose background includes years in Austin’s top restaurants and event kitchens. Chef Van Dorn assembled an “A‑Team” of event chefs, front‑of‑house staff, and bartenders to deliver a farm‑to‑catering model that pairs sustainable, locally harvested ingredients with a chef’s touch. By partnering directly with regional farmers and ranchers, the caterer builds menus that reflect the season’s bounty and the local environment. Each client begins with a consultation where the executive chef designs a custom menu, and the service can range from drop‑off options for casual gatherings to full on‑site catering for larger celebrations. The firm also offers cooking classes, private‑party catering, and sommelier‑ and mixologist‑guided beverage programs.

Hill Country Catering Company’s focus on farm‑fresh, sustainable cuisine makes it a distinctive choice for San Marcos events that value high‑quality, locally sourced food.
