Frequently Asked

Good Questions, Honest Answers

What areas do you serve?

We cater across the South Shore and Greater Boston from our home base at 240 Quincy Ave in Braintree — including Quincy, Hingham, Weymouth, Milton, Braintree, and Boston. Reach out for events further afield.

Is there a minimum order?

Most catering orders start at a small tray (serves 8–10). For full-service events with staffing, setup, and breakdown, we recommend 25+ guests. We're happy to discuss smaller intimate gatherings as well.

Do you provide staff, setup, and rentals?

Yes — we offer drop-off catering, buffet setup, and full-service staffing including servers and on-site chefs. Rentals (linens, chafing dishes, glassware) can be coordinated upon request.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. We regularly prepare gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and nut-free options, and can custom-make dishes for any allergy. Just let us know during your inquiry.

How far in advance should we book?

For weddings and large events, 2–6 months is ideal. For corporate lunches and smaller gatherings, 1–2 weeks is usually enough. Last-minute requests welcome when our calendar allows.

Do you host events at your venue?

Yes — our private function room at 240 Quincy Ave hosts weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers, and private parties. Ask us about availability and packages.

How does payment and the deposit work?

A signed proposal and deposit secure your date. Final headcount and balance are due in the week before your event. We accept all major payment methods.

Do you offer tastings?

Tastings are available for weddings and larger full-service events. Reach out and we'll coordinate a time at our Braintree location.

Is the quote really free?

Yes — every inquiry and event plan gets a free, no-obligation quote. We'll send pricing, availability, and menu suggestions within one business day, and there's never pressure to book.

What happens after I send an inquiry?

Our team reviews your details and replies within one business day with a tailored proposal. From there we'll refine the menu together, schedule a tasting if you'd like, and lock in your date with a deposit.

Can you handle last-minute events?

Often, yes. Catering orders can be placed with as little as 24 hours' notice when our calendar allows — call or text us at +1 (617) 299-0577 and we'll do our best to make it happen.
