Good questions.

Do you offer delivery?

Yes! We have two options for delivery.

Do you provide chafing dishes, serving utensils, plates, and cutlery?

Drop off – We utilize a 3rd party delivery service that will deliver your order right to your door! All delivery orders placed online will be scheduled as a “drop off”. Delivery with set up – Let us know if you would like us to get everything set up for you. Our team will arrive about 30 minutes before your scheduled meal time and set up your buffet so that you and your guests can just show up and eat!

What kind of food services do you offer?

All of our food options are presented as a self-serve buffet.
For large events, our team is happy to stay on site to maintain your buffet! We’ll provide everything that goes on top of the table cloth – chafing dishes, serving utensils, plates, cutlery, napkins, and a display menu.
For all other orders, you are welcome to pick up at our kitchen in Middletown, RI. Or we can deliver it right to your door!

How far in advance should I book?

The sooner the better — especially for weddings and holiday-season dates, which fill up fast. We recommend reaching out at least 2–3 weeks ahead for smaller events and a few months out for large or peak-season celebrations. Got something last-minute? Call us and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

How do I get a quote?

Easy — start an inquiry or call (401) 847-9283. Share your date, headcount, and what you have in mind, and we’ll put together a custom quote.
