Planner's guide

PART 1: PLANNER INSIGHT

Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and seminars, Wedding receptions and celebration dinners, Private parties and social gatherings, Conference catering with flexible timing

What planners usually like:

  • Extended operating hours (8 AM to 11 PM) allow flexibility for events starting early or running late without additional premium charges
  • Local Basel-based vendor means shorter setup/breakdown times and easier communication for last-minute adjustments
  • Professional service reliability is important when you're managing multiple vendor relationships and need one less thing to worry about

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Get specific menu options and pricing tiers upfront—"contact for pricing" means you'll need direct conversation to compare costs against other vendors
  • Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether they have different service packages for small versus large events
  • Ask about included items: Are glassware, plates, utensils, linens, and serving staff priced separately or included in their catering fee?
  • Verify deposit requirements, cancellation policies, and payment terms before committing

Common questions

What's the typical process for getting a quote from gaw catering?

Contact them directly at +41 61 317 66 66 or through their website. Be prepared to provide your event date, guest count, event type, and any dietary requirements. They'll discuss menu options and provide customized pricing based on your specific needs rather than publishing fixed rates online.

Can gaw catering accommodate events with tight budgets or smaller group sizes?

Many Basel catering services have minimum guest counts (often 20-30 people), so it's worth asking about this directly. If you're planning an intimate dinner or small corporate meeting, confirm whether they accept smaller bookings or if there's a service charge applied.

How much advance notice does gaw catering typically require for booking?

Most professional catering services in Basel prefer 2-4 weeks' notice for standard events, though availability varies by season. Contact them early, especially if your event falls during peak wedding season (May-September) or around holidays.

Do they offer menu customization or do they work from set packages?

Their website doesn't specify menu structure, so this is a critical question to ask during your initial contact. Find out if they offer seasonal menus, dietary accommodations (vegetarian, vegan, allergen-free), and whether custom menus are available or limited to preset options.

Are service staff and setup/breakdown included in their catering pricing?

This varies significantly between vendors. Clarify whether the quoted price includes servers, bartenders, table setup, equipment rental, and cleanup—or if these are additional costs that could substantially increase your total expense.

What's their experience with events at specific Basel venues?

If you're planning an event at a particular location (hotel, restaurant private room, outdoor space), ask if they've worked there before. They may know venue restrictions, kitchen access, parking logistics, or electrical requirements that affect their service delivery.
