Common questions

Does Palatable Catering & Events deliver to all Vancouver venues, or are there service area restrictions?

This is a critical question to clarify early. Contact them at +1 604-900-4945 to confirm delivery capabilities to your specific venue location and whether distance-based fees apply. Some caterers have geographic limits or charge additional fees for outer areas, which affects your overall budget.

What menu options are available, and can they accommodate dietary restrictions or cuisines?

Visit http://palatablecatering.ca/ to review available menu selections, or call directly to discuss custom menus. Most Vancouver caterers can handle common restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, allergies), but confirming in advance prevents last-minute complications and ensures guest satisfaction.

What is included in the catering package—just food, or do they provide staffing and rentals?

This significantly impacts your total event cost. Ask whether the quoted price includes servers, bartenders, linens, place settings, and bar service. Some caterers include these services; others charge à la carte, which can double your final bill if you're unprepared.

What is the minimum guest count, and do they offer different pricing for smaller versus larger events?

Minimum party sizes often start at 20-50 guests for most caterers. Understanding their threshold helps you determine if they're appropriate for intimate gatherings versus larger celebrations. Pricing tiers usually decrease per-person as guest count increases.

How far in advance should I book, and what is the cancellation policy?

Booking timelines vary by season—weekday events may need 1-2 weeks notice, while Saturday events often require 3-4 weeks. Clarify cancellation terms, deposit amounts, and refund policies in writing before committing funds, especially for events more than 2 months away.

Can they handle setup, service, and breakdown, or is food delivery only?

Understanding the scope of service prevents miscommunication on event day. Ask whether staff arrives for plating, serving, table clearing, and cleanup. This affects your venue staffing needs and overall event logistics planning.
