Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether pricing includes rentals (tables, chairs, linens, serving equipment) or if these are additional costs, as this significantly impacts your total budget
  • Ask about minimum guest counts for different event types, as catering minimums vary widely and affect pricing structure
  • Discuss their service model—do they provide staffing for setup, service, and breakdown, or is food delivery only?
  • Verify availability for your specific event date and confirm their cancellation/rescheduling policy in writing before committing

Common questions

What event sizes does McEwan Catering typically handle, and are there minimum guest requirements?

Contact them directly at 416-444-6262 ext. 228 to discuss your guest count, as minimums vary by event type and menu selections. Smaller intimate gatherings may have different requirements than large corporate functions, so it's important to confirm what works within their operational capacity.

Can McEwan Catering accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Most professional catering services in Toronto can handle common dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher), but you'll need to discuss your specific requirements during the consultation. Provide complete ingredient lists and cross-contamination concerns upfront so they can confirm their ability to safely accommodate your guests.

What is included in the catering package—food only, or do they provide service staff and rentals?

This is essential to clarify before comparing quotes. Different catering packages range from drop-off delivery to full-service options with staff, table setup, and cleanup. Contact them to understand their service tiers and what's included at different price points.

How far in advance should I book McEwan Catering, and what's their typical lead time?

Most Toronto caterers prefer 2-4 weeks notice for standard events, though larger events or holidays may require longer booking windows. Reach out early to check their availability for your date and understand any rush fees for shorter notice bookings.

Are there additional fees beyond the quoted catering price I should expect?

Common add-ons include gratuity (typically 18-20%), service charges, equipment rentals, setup/breakdown fees, and parking. Get a detailed quote breakdown in writing that itemizes all costs so there are no surprises when the final invoice arrives.

Does McEwan Catering offer menu tastings or consultations before finalizing event details?

Many catering companies offer tastings for larger events or consultations to review menu options. Schedule a call with their team at 416-444-6262 ext. 228 to ask about tasting availability and whether there's a fee associated with sampling menus before your event.
