Healthy Catering in Malaga

These are the typical per-head prices charged by healthy catering companies in Malaga, depending on the format:

The simplest coffee break, with fruit, fresh juice and wholemeal pastries, runs €7 to €12 per head; the fuller version reaches €20. The usual minimum order for home delivery sits between €250 and €600, though some companies accept simple deliveries with no set-up from €100 to €150; below around 15-20 people it's common not to reach the minimum most Malaga companies require. For a canteen or collective catering contract for 50 people, a healthy buffet runs €1,250 – €3,000. Prices are generally shown without VAT, charged at 10% on catering in Spain.

Healthy catering in Malaga is about more than a salad: most companies design balanced menus around seasonal produce, control portion sizes and offer alternatives for specific diets.

• Weekly or one-off menus ready to reheat or serve.
• Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or low-carb options.
• Delivery in individual containers, or in trays for groups.
• Catering for company canteens, centres or collective settings.

Companies on the directory include meal-delivery and tupperware specialists such as MenuDiet, Fitness Power Food and Tapper's Lifestyle, a more organic offering from Astrid Tapería Orgánica, and collective catering from Gorest Colectividades. It's worth asking each company directly about ingredients, calorie counts per dish, and whether the menu can be adjusted for allergies or intolerances.

Before booking healthy catering in Malaga, it's worth clarifying a few things with each company: whether the menu is designed by a nutritionist, what special-diet options are available, and whether the price includes delivery to your home, office or canteen.

• Compare the price per head and the minimum order for each company.
• Ask whether the menu can be adjusted for allergies or intolerances.
• Confirm whether the service is a one-off order or a weekly plan.
• Check whether delivery and collecting tableware are included.

For a company canteen or a collective catering contract, ask for a sample menu before signing, since the service usually runs for weeks or months at a time. If you're arranging catering from abroad, it's worth checking early on whether the company can handle enquiries in English and quote a holiday villa on the Costa del Sol rather than a permanent address.

Most healthy catering companies deliver across Malaga city and the surrounding metropolitan area, though each provider sets its own coverage zone and may add a travel charge outside it.

For a one-off delivery with no set-up, booking 48-72 hours ahead is normally enough. If you need an ongoing service for a company canteen or a collective contract, it's best to get in touch 1-3 months ahead to agree the menu and the terms. In high season (April-July and September-October) it's worth allowing a few extra days because of higher demand.
