Pricing
1. How much does it cost to cater an event?
Catering cost depends on guest count, menu, beverage and bar service, staffing, rentals, location and date. See our services for what we can include. For an exact figure, request a quote with your date and guest count.
2. How are grazing tables priced?
Grazing tables are priced mainly by guest count, which determines the size of the table, plus the menu mix and whether you’d like an attendant. Contact us for a custom quote. See charcuterie & grazing tables.
3. Do you have a guest minimum or order minimum?
It depends on your event. Reach out with your date and guest count and we’ll tailor a proposal to it.
Booking
4. How far in advance should we book?
It depends on your event and the time of year. Earlier is better for larger or holiday-season events. If your date is sooner, ask anyway and we’ll check availability.
5. Which areas do you serve?
We cater throughout Orange County, CA, Los Angeles County and San Diego County. See the full list on our service areas page. If travel costs apply to your location, we’ll let you know when we quote.
Food
6. What’s on a charcuterie board or grazing table?
Typically a mix of cheeses, crackers, breads, cured meats, fresh fruit, vegetables, nuts, jams and dips such as hummus, arranged on boards and trays. We also offer sliders and finger food. See all services.
7. Can you accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free or allergy needs?
It depends on your event and your guests’ needs. Please list any dietary needs or allergies in your quote request and we’ll talk through what we can prepare.
Bar & Staff
8. Do you provide alcohol and bartenders?
Yes, we provide beverage and alcohol service with bartenders. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll tailor the bar to your event. Details on our bar service & event staffing page.
9. Do you set up and clean up, and can you work at our office?
We cater in offices and conference spaces as well as event venues, and our team sets up before guests arrive. For after the event, tell us what you need and we’ll plan around it. We can also bring tables, chairs, tablecloths, glassware and utensils; see event rentals.
