Common questions

What's the typical process for getting a catering quote from Social Catering Co?

Contact them directly at +61 425 789 654 or visit their website at http://www.socialcateringco.com.au/ with details about your guest count, event date, and preferred service style. They'll work with you to develop a customized quote based on your specific requirements. Having this information ready before reaching out will streamline the quoting process.

Can Social Catering Co accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Most professional catering services can manage dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-free options. Contact them directly to discuss your specific dietary needs and confirm their capacity to accommodate your guest list's requirements without substitution limitations.

Do they provide staffing and setup, or is it just food delivery?

This varies by catering package and event scope. Confirm whether your quote includes service staff, setup/breakdown, equipment rental (tables, linens, serving ware), bar service, and cleanup. These elements significantly impact pricing and your event logistics planning.

What's the minimum guest count for catering orders?

Minimum party sizes often vary by service type and menu selection. Smaller events may have higher per-person costs or require simplified menu options. Call +61 425 789 654 to confirm their minimums for your specific event size and catering style.

How far in advance should I book catering for my Melbourne event?

Most catering companies prefer 4-6 weeks notice for standard events, though they may accommodate shorter timelines depending on menu complexity and event date. Contact them early to confirm availability, especially for popular event dates like weekends and holidays.

Can they cater events at venues other than their location?

Yes, professional catering services typically deliver to your chosen venue throughout Melbourne. Confirm delivery areas they service, any additional charges for travel distance, setup requirements at your venue, and whether kitchen facilities are needed for final food preparation.
