Bess’ Delicatessen & Catering
Bess’ Delicatessen & Catering has been on Hilton Head since 1983. The deli is in Fountain Center on New Orleans Road, near the Sea Pines Circle end of the island, and it is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for breakfast and lunch: homemade soups and salads every day, deli sandwiches, and chicken, egg, tuna and pasta salads by the pound.
Catering and Vacation Meals
The catering side covers weddings, rehearsal dinners, the day-after brunch, engagement and cocktail parties, luncheons and office events. One mother of the bride praises the wedding buffet, the meatballs in particular, and the servers and bartender who ran it.
For a rental house, Bess’ also cooks meals for visiting families and delivers them ready to heat, so nobody spends the week in the kitchen. Reviewers mention a chicken parm dinner for ten with all the sides, and one group got vegan and gluten-free meals without any fuss. Desserts are made from scratch too: cakes, pies, pastries, cupcakes and tortes.
How to Order
Call (843) 785-2377 or email the deli through its website; menus and prices are worked out per order. For more caterers, see Hilton Head catering.
