Catering formats, and what each one actually costs

Mini buffet, buffet with setup and bento are priced from published rate cards. A mini buffet is $18 per pax plus $30 delivery at 10–14 pax, $15 with delivery free from 15, $13 from 30 and $10 from 75. Casserole catering, party sets and buffet-in-a-warmer are the same format under different names, so they carry the same rates.

Because those come from our partnering vendors rather than our own promotional menus, and the price depends on which vendor makes it and what goes on the table. Publishing a per-pax rate we could not hold would be worse than saying so. Send the date, headcount and address and a specialist comes back with options and prices, usually the same working day.

10 pax for a mini buffet, 30 pax for a buffet with setup, and 12 pax for bento depending on the menu. Mini buffet and buffet order sizes go up in fives — 10, 15, 20, 25 and so on. Bento is packed individually, so it takes the exact headcount.

One day, subject to vendor availability on your date. Most catering in Singapore asks for three to five working days. Same-day orders are not something we can promise in advance, but we do try to make them happen. Message us with the date, the headcount and where it is going, and a specialist will check what is open and come back to you either way.

Yes. Halal menus come from Muslim-owned stalls and are priced the same as the rest, and halal-certified options are available through our partnering vendors on request. Select halal in the planner and only halal options are shown.

Changes are fine with at least 24 hours' notice, whichever format you have ordered.

The latest we can take an order is one day before your event. We recommend booking earlier than that: popular dates such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Christmas and the year-end party season are taken weeks ahead, and ordering early secures your slot and the dishes you want. For large events, the earlier the better.

Delivery is free on mini buffet and bento orders of $225 or more before GST. Below that it is $30, and a 10 pax order always carries the fee whatever the order comes to. On the entry-level mini buffet menus $225 is reached at 15 pax. A buffet with setup instead carries a $90 setup fee, charged once per order, which covers delivery, laying out the buffet line and collecting the equipment afterwards. Remote postal codes, deliveries at 9.59am or earlier or 7.31pm or later, and venues without lift access can add a surcharge on top; every one is published and appears in your quotation before you confirm.

Mini buffet orders are drop and go: the food arrives in insulated warmer bags that are yours to keep, with serving gear, cutlery, plates, bowls, a disposable table cloth and a trash bag, so you can bag everything up and bin it after your event. Bento meals come individually boxed with cutlery. Buffet with setup includes a skirted table and cloth, warmers, serving gear, disposable plates, cutlery and napkins, and our team returns to collect the equipment.

Yes, with more than 24 hours' notice before your event, subject to availability. Within 24 hours the food and manpower are already committed, so changes and cancellations are normally not accepted and a fee of 50% to 100% of the order may apply.
