Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales for smaller versus larger events
- Understand what's included in their catering packages (staffing, setup/breakdown, serving ware, beverages) versus add-on costs
- Verify menu options available and flexibility for dietary requirements (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, cultural cuisine preferences)
- Clarify delivery and setup logistics—do they handle venue setup, what's their travel radius from Garema Court, and are there off-site service fees
Common questions
Can The Catering Dept handle events on Saturday, and what are the booking constraints?
Yes, they operate Saturdays from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM, making them available for weekend events. However, Saturday availability may book quickly, so contact them early at +61 2 7226 3668 to confirm dates. Clarify whether their Saturday pricing differs from weekday rates.
What's the best way to discuss custom menu options and dietary requirements?
Call +61 2 7226 3668 or visit their website at https://thecateringdept.com.au/ to discuss your specific needs directly. They can advise on available menu options, dietary accommodations, and pricing based on your guest count and event type rather than providing generic quotes.
Are there additional charges for setup, staffing, and serving equipment?
Since pricing is customized based on event details, it's essential to ask whether staff, serving ware, tables, and cleanup are included in quoted prices or if they're separate line items. This affects your total catering budget significantly.
How far from Garema Court will The Catering Dept deliver, and are there travel surcharges?
Their service area covers Sydney, but confirming your specific venue location is important—some outer suburbs may incur travel fees. Ask about setup requirements at your venue and whether they handle full service or drop-off only.
What's their typical turnaround for booking events, and how much notice do they need?
Contact them directly to understand booking windows, especially for weekends or peak seasons. Some caterers require 2-4 weeks' notice; confirming availability early prevents last-minute disappointments.
Can they accommodate events with alcohol service, and do they handle beverage management?
Ask whether they provide beverage service (soft drinks, coffee, bar setup) or if that's arranged separately. This clarifies whether you need additional beverage suppliers for your event.
