Frequently Asked Questions

How do I go about getting a quote from you?

We suggest looking at our menus and picking out foods you'd like. Either call or e-mail us (link on bottom of home page) your choices and then Bob can put together a quote for you.

Other variables we will need to know are: what time, how many people, location, and if this is just dropoff (that includes disposables or a dropoff with fancy stuff - i.e. chafing dishes - that we’d have to return to pick up) or if you want us to stay and help keep things stocked, cleaned, etc.

How much it will cost for Hors D’oeuvres for my party?

This depends on what kind of food you want, obviously if you want seafood items or Baby Back Ribs the price will be more than if you just want meatballs or chicken items. We suggest you take a look at our sample menus, decide what you’d like, and call us with your preferences. Bob can then make a menu for you showing how much of each item you’ll need, for your approval.

          Our usual guideline is:

                     Light Hors D’oeuvres = 5-9 different items with one piece per person

                     Medium Hors D’oeuvres = 8-12 different items with one piece per person

                     Heavy Hors D’oeuvres = 11-17 different items with one piece per person

Other variables we will need to know are: what time, how many people, location, and if this is just dropoff (that includes disposables or a dropoff with fancy stuff that we’d have to return to pick up) or if you want us to stay and help keep things stocked, cleaned, etc.

What is included in the price of the food?

The food - dropped off at your event in aluminum pans or on disposable trays.

For dinners under $10 per person - disposable plates, plastic forks (etc), plastic cups, & paper dinner napkins.

Dinners over $10 and Hors D’oeuvres - attractive clear or white hard plastic plates, clear plastic forks (etc), clear plastic cups, and paper napkins.

          Tax is NOT included in the price.

Do you have other equipment, such as tables for the food, plates, chafing dishes, etc to rent?

Yes, see the Equipment Rental menu on our home page.

Can you provide wait staff to serve, or restock the food line? Yes, our fee is $75 per server for hors d’oeuvres parties and dinner buffet parties. For a sit down, served dinner the fee will be $100 per server.

What is your attire?

For fancier events (i.e. weddings) we wear white chef’s jackets with black pants. For cocktail parties we wear black polo shirts, black pants, and a white apron. If your event is outside in the Florida sun... (& not a formal wedding) our attire will be white polo shirts, tan (or black) pants and white aprons. We also have Tropical shirts for luaus, etc.

What do you require for a deposit?

We require a 50% deposit to reserve the date for you...on a first come basis. In case of cancellation, if we have not bought your food or if we have not turned down another cater on this date, this money will be returned to you if you have paid us with a check. If payment was made on a credit card there will be a 10% processing fee.

When is the balance due?

The balance is due no later than the day of the event, unless other arrangements have been made for payment.

What are your delivery fees?

For 20 or more people we deliver free inside PC area (west to hwy 79, north to hwy 388 - east to E. Callaway Dr. & south to Tyndall AFB)

       For 10 to 20 people there will be a $20 delivery fee

          We will also deliver up to 1 hour away for a fee of $1 per mile, both ways.

Can we sample your food?

Unfortunately, no. Since we buy everything fresh and prepare the event's food specifically for that event we are not able to provide you with samples. We can, however, provide you with plenty of references.

Do you have alcohol beverage licensing/permits?

No, we do not have a liquor license, please see our Wedding Info page for Alcohol/bar suppliers.

Where are you located?  

          We are located off Florida Avenue in Panama City, FL.  

Do you have a commercial kitchen?                                         

Yes, we do all of our cooking at our business and transfer the food in "Hot" or "Cold" boxes to your event. So if the location where you are having the party charges a rental fee for use of their kitchen you may tell them we will not need the equipment, just counter space to set up.

Do you have a permit?

          Yes, we are licensed and are subject to periodic inspections by the Health Dept.

If you have any other questions please don’t hesitate to give us a call. Thank you!
