The essentials for planning your catering.
All questions & answersWhat does catering include?
Catering supplies food for an event; delivery, drinks, tableware and service may be added. These are not automatically included in every price. The quote should specify who handles food, transport, setup, serving and collection.
Who can arrange catering for a company party, wedding or birthday?
Delta Catering develops catering concepts for all three occasions. A company event centres on breaks and conversation, a wedding on the day’s schedule, and a birthday on sharing a meal. Discuss the menu, headcount and required service as one coordinated plan.
Should I choose a buffet, finger food or a plated menu?
Choose according to the event: finger food suits standing conversations, a buffet offers choice, and a plated menu gives seated guests a shared rhythm. Seating, floor space and meal duration matter. A short reception and a full evening meal require different quantities.
Explore this topicDoes catering include tableware and serving staff?
Not automatically. Delta Catering plans staff, plates, cutlery, glasses, setup and breakdown as separate items. Identify what the venue already supplies and who handles return and cleaning. The agreed written scope determines what is included.
