Catering FAQs
Lead times, deposits, dietary needs, and how our catering works.
How far in advance should I book catering?
Lead time depends on the number of guests: a small gathering needs less notice than a large event or a wedding. Call us with your date and headcount as early as you can and we will tell you exactly what we need to secure your date and plan the menu.
Is there a minimum order for catering?
Yes. Our catering minimum is 10 guests. Pricing is by the tray and depends on the menu you choose, so call us with your guest count and event type and we will build the menu and quote it with you on the call.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Absolutely. We cater to vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal requirements, and all our meat is halal by default. Tell us your guests’ needs when you call and we will build the menu around them.
Do you provide serving staff and equipment?
Yes. We can supply chafing dishes, serving ware, and setup for your event, and serving staff can be added for larger gatherings. Mention it in your enquiry and we will include it in your quote.
What is your service area for catering?
We serve Chatham and the surrounding New Jersey area including Madison, Summit, Short Hills, Millburn, Florham Park, New Providence, Livingston, and Morristown. For events further afield, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate.
What is the payment and deposit policy?
We require a 25% deposit to secure your event date, with the balance due 48 hours before the event. We accept all major credit and debit cards and bank transfers. Cancellations more than 72 hours in advance receive a full deposit refund.
Can I do a tasting before my event?
Yes. For larger events and weddings we offer a tasting at the restaurant so you can try your chosen dishes and make final adjustments to the menu before the big day. Ask about it when we send your proposal.
