We schedule deliveries to arrive half hour prior to your serving time, if you would like it sooner or later just let us know at the time you place your order.

On our buffet lines we use chafing dishes for the hot foods.  Our cold foods are presented in black plastic or glass bowls and/or black plastic or silver trays that are nicely garnished.  We use baskets and cloth napkins for other various items such as rolls, dinnerware, and condiments.

We typically set-up your meal buffet style and come back to pick it up when finished.  Pick-up times are arranged during our normal business hours.  You will be responsible for our equipment until it is picked up.

We will gladly provide you with a server(s) to maintain the buffet line and serve your guests upon request and need. Additional charges may apply.
