Common questions

What's included when you book catering from The Hometown Chef, and what costs extra?

Since pricing is provided upon contact, it's essential to ask during your initial conversation whether their quote includes serving staff, rentals (plates, utensils, linens), setup/breakdown, or if those are additional line items. This prevents budget surprises and helps you understand the true all-in cost for your event.

How much advance notice does The Hometown Chef need to take on an event?

Most Houston catering companies require 1-2 weeks minimum for standard events, though some can accommodate shorter timelines depending on their schedule. Contact them during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM) to discuss your specific date and guest count for an accurate lead time commitment.

Can The Hometown Chef accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies?

You'll need to discuss your guests' specific dietary needs directly with their team when requesting a quote. Ask about their experience with common restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies) and whether they maintain separate preparation areas to prevent cross-contamination.

Do they provide staff to serve food, or do I need to arrange that separately?

Catering services vary widely on staffing—some include servers and bartenders, while others provide food only. Clarify whether your quote includes event staff for plating, serving, and beverage management, as this significantly impacts the overall guest experience.

What's their cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Ask about their policy for cancellations, deposits, and what happens if you need to reschedule your event. Understanding these terms upfront protects both you and the vendor and gives you peace of mind during planning.

Can The Hometown Chef work with my venue, or do they have restrictions on where they'll cater?

Some catering companies have exclusive venue agreements or restrictions on kitchen access. Confirm that they can work at your chosen venue and ask if there are any additional fees for off-site events or venues with limited kitchen facilities.
