What planners usually like:

  • Direct communication with the catering team during business hours allows for detailed menu planning and special dietary accommodation discussions
  • Local Barcelona-based vendor reduces coordination complexity and allows for site visits to discuss kitchen capabilities and logistics
  • Flexible approach to event sizes suggests scalability from intimate 20-person gatherings to larger celebrations
  • Monday-Friday availability aligns well with corporate and weekday event scheduling

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether they accommodate smaller events under 30-50 people
  • Ask about their specific menu options, dietary restrictions they can accommodate (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, religious requirements), and whether they offer customizable menus
  • Clarify delivery and setup services—do they provide staff for service, setup, and breakdown, or is this an additional fee?
  • Understand their pricing structure: confirm whether quotes include rentals (plates, glasses, linens), beverages, service staff, or if these are separate line items

Common questions

Does Actual Catering handle weekend events, and what are my options if I'm planning a Saturday wedding?

Actual Catering operates Monday through Friday (8 AM–5 PM), so they don't have standard Saturday or Sunday availability. Contact them directly at +34 931 60 00 28 to discuss whether they make exceptions for larger events or can recommend weekend-available alternatives. This is an important constraint to verify early in your planning process.

What's typically included in their catering quotes, and are there hidden costs I should expect?

Since pricing requires direct contact, you'll need to ask specifically about what's bundled: food costs, service staff, equipment rentals (plates, glasses, tables, linens), beverages, and setup/breakdown fees. Getting a detailed itemized quote prevents surprise charges and allows proper budget comparison with other Barcelona catering vendors.

Can Actual Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and allergen requirements?

Most professional catering services in Barcelona handle common dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal), but you should confirm their specific capabilities and any upcharges during your initial consultation. Provide complete guest lists with dietary details well in advance so they can plan appropriately and avoid cross-contamination issues.

How far in advance should I book Actual Catering, and do they require a deposit?

Contact them directly to understand their booking timeline (typically 2-4 weeks minimum for smaller events, 6-8 weeks for larger ones) and deposit policies. Confirm whether they require a non-refundable deposit, payment schedule, and their cancellation policy in writing before committing.

Do they provide service staff, or do I need to hire separate servers for my event?

This is a critical detail to clarify—some catering companies provide full-service options with staff, while others deliver food only. Ask specifically whether your quote includes service personnel, bartenders, or if you're responsible for hiring external staff to manage meal service.

What's their experience with events in specific Barcelona venues, and can they work with my chosen location?

Ask whether they've catered at your specific venue and if they're familiar with its kitchen facilities, loading access, and logistics. Some venues have exclusive catering partnerships, so verify there are no restrictions before selecting Actual Catering for your event.
