Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunch meetings and office events; Small to mid-sized private celebrations (25-75 guests); Farm-to-table themed gatherings; Austin-area community events and nonprofit fundraisers

What planners usually like:

  • Direct communication with the catering team during business hours makes menu planning and revisions straightforward—no voicemail delays or unclear vendor expectations
  • Local Austin location (W Center St) reduces coordination complexity and allows for face-to-face menu tastings if needed
  • Flexible approach to understanding client vision suggests willingness to customize menus rather than forcing rigid package options
  • Weekday operational focus indicates strong reliability for corporate and professional events

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Request specific details on minimum guest counts and whether pricing scales differently for smaller versus larger events
  • Confirm delivery and setup services included in catering package, plus any fees for travel outside central Austin
  • Ask about dietary accommodation capacity (vegan, gluten-free, allergen protocols) and whether menu customization has limitations
  • Clarify payment terms, deposit requirements, and cancellation policies before committing to a date

Common questions

How far in advance should I book The Root Cellar Catering Co. for my event?

Contact them directly at +1 512-214-3702 during business hours (Mon-Fri, 9 AM-5 PM) to discuss availability. Spring and fall events in Austin fill quickly, so reaching out 6-8 weeks ahead gives you better menu selection and date options. For smaller, flexible events, shorter timelines may work—ask about their current calendar when you call.

What if my event needs catering on a Saturday or Sunday?

The Root Cellar Catering Co. operates Monday-Friday only, so weekend events aren't available through this vendor. Plan ahead if you need a Saturday wedding or Sunday brunch and consider contacting them early in the week to explore alternative dates or refer you to weekend-available partners.

Can they handle large corporate events, or do they work better for intimate gatherings?

Without published capacity limits, this requires a direct conversation with their team. Call +1 512-214-3702 to discuss your guest count and event scope. They emphasize understanding client vision, which suggests flexibility, but confirming their typical event size range helps set realistic expectations.

Do they offer menu tastings before I finalize my catering order?

Their website and description don't specify tasting policies, so ask directly when you contact them. Being located at 103 W Center St in Austin, a in-person tasting session is likely possible—inquire about scheduling one to sample food quality and discuss customization options.

Are rentals (tables, linens, dishware) included in their catering service?

Catering services in Austin typically separate food service from rental items. Contact The Root Cellar Catering Co. to confirm whether rentals are included, available through partnership, or if you'll need to hire a separate rental company. Clarifying this avoids last-minute gaps in event setup.

What cuisines or food styles does The Root Cellar Catering Co. specialize in?

Their name suggests a farm-to-table or locally-sourced focus, but specific menu styles aren't detailed in available information. Visit https://rootcellarcateringco.com/ or call +1 512-214-3702 to review menus, dietary specialties, and whether they offer options like BBQ, Southern comfort food, contemporary cuisine, or other Austin-area preferences.
