Common questions

How far in advance should I book Penns Landing Caterers for my event?

While specific booking windows aren't listed, it's advisable to contact them at +1 215-336-7404 as soon as your event date is confirmed. Philadelphia's popular venues often book catering quickly, especially for weekend events. Calling during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9 AM–5 PM) ensures direct communication about their current availability.

Do they offer full-service catering with staff, or is it drop-off only?

The vendor description mentions they work directly with clients on meal planning, but specific details about staffing, bar service, and setup aren't provided. Contact them directly to clarify whether they provide full-service catering (including servers and bartenders) or if you'll need to hire additional personnel through other vendors.

What types of cuisines and menu styles do they specialize in?

The vendor information doesn't specify menu themes or cuisine specialties. Call +1 215-336-7404 to discuss their menu options—whether they offer traditional Philadelphia fare, diverse cuisine selections, themed menus, or fully customizable options. This conversation is essential for ensuring their offerings align with your event vision.

Are they able to accommodate large events, or do they work better for smaller gatherings?

There's no specified maximum guest capacity listed. It's important to ask about their typical event sizes, maximum capacity, and whether they scale pricing proportionally. Some caterers work best with intimate groups (under 50 guests), while others specialize in large celebrations—clarifying this early saves planning time.

What is included in their pricing, and are there hidden fees I should expect?

Penns Landing Caterers lists "Contact for pricing," which means you'll need to request a formal quote. When you call, ask specifically about what's included (food, beverages, staff, rentals, linens, equipment) and what costs extra (service charges, setup fees, gratuity, bar minimums). Getting a detailed breakdown prevents budget surprises.

Do they work with events held at off-site venues, or do they mainly cater at their Penns Landing location?

The location at 1301 S Christopher Columbus Blvd suggests they may offer both on-site catering and off-site event support, but this isn't explicitly stated. Ask whether they can cater events at other Philadelphia venues, what additional fees apply for external locations, and what their delivery/setup radius covers.
