Canapés and a mobile bar at a venue, with waiters keeping the trays moving.

Year-end catering questions
When should we book year-end function catering?
As early as you can. Year-end catering companies book out from mid-November, and December Fridays go first. Hold the date in August or September and finalise the menu and numbers closer to the time.
What is the most popular year-end catering?
Spit braais and braais for outdoor functions, buffets for seated lunches, harvest tables for office parties, and canapés with a bar for evening functions.
How much does year-end catering cost per person?
It depends on the party style, the head count and what you add, such as a bar, staff or tents. We quote per head with every extra itemised, usually the same working day.
Is there a minimum number of guests?
Most year-end functions start at ten guests, and we cater teams of every size, from a department lunch to a company-wide party.
Can you cater at our office, a park or our own venue?
Yes. We cater at offices, parks, gardens, homes and hired venues across Johannesburg, Sandton, Fourways, Midrand and Pretoria. For outdoor functions we can add tents and seating.
Can you supply the bar as well?
Yes. Our sister company Jozi Bars supplies mobile bars with bartenders, and we coordinate the food and bar as one booking.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are built into every party style, and Halaal-friendly menus are available on request. We are not a certified Halaal kitchen, so tell us at enquiry stage if certified catering is needed.
