Nelson's Catering & Fundraising

Nelson's Catering & Fundraising Bringing people together with great food and seamless service since 1968. Because Great Events Need Great Food.

From backyard gatherings to corporate events, Nelson’s delivers catering you can count on. For over 50 years Nelson’s has been serving the Northern Indiana area with the finest barbecued products, featuring Nelson’s famous Port-A-Pit® chicken. Nelson’s has always provided its customers with a rare combination of quality and quantity. For example, Nelson’s can feed 7,500 people a delicious, all-yo

u-can-eat meal using only three people to cook the meat. Traditional catering companies, may require 20 to 30 people to cook for this size of a group. Nelson’s now serves over 1,200,000 halves of chicken through its fundraising and catering services every year, serving groups up to 40,000, or even providing concessions for large outdoor events with attendances up to 250,000 people.
