Frequently Asked Questions
How much food should be ordered for a buffet?
A practical guide is 450–680 grams of food per adult, split between proteins, sides and salads. Plan for extra variety rather than larger quantities to reduce waste. Always consider the length of the event, time of day and guest profile—teen sports teams often eat more than corporate groups.
Can buffet catering accommodate dietary requirements?
Yes. Caterers label gluten-free and vegan dishes clearly, prepare allergy-friendly items in separate areas and use separate utensils to avoid cross-contamination. Common solutions include gluten-free starches, plant-based proteins and dairy-free dressings that complement the main buffet without drawing attention to dietary differences.
How far in advance should buffet catering be booked?
For weekend events during peak seasons like spring and early summer lock in a caterer six to eight weeks ahead to secure equipment and preferred menus. Smaller weekday functions or off-season gatherings often need two to three weeks’ notice. Final guest numbers and dietary lists should be confirmed seven days before the event so suppliers can deliver accurate quantities.
