How far in advance should I book catering services in Southampton?
We recommend booking your Southampton catering at least 2-3 weeks in advance, especially during busy seasons like summer and holidays when the Hamptons area sees increased event activity. This gives us time to plan your menu, secure quality ingredients, and coordinate our staff schedule.
For larger events or during peak times, booking 4-6 weeks ahead ensures availability. However, we understand last-minute needs arise, so give us a call even if your event is coming up soon—we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Early booking also allows more time for menu customization and ensures you get your preferred date and service level.

Menu options include burgers, hot dogs, BBQ ribs, grilled chicken, and corn on the cob, plus fresh homemade salads like potato, macaroni, and coleslaw. All condiments, buns, and fixings are included.
We handle complete setup before your event, manage all cooking during the event, and take care of full breakdown and cleanup afterward. You can also add professional wait staff to ensure all guests are properly attended to throughout your event.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
Absolutely. We regularly accommodate various dietary needs including gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-specific requirements. Our kitchen team is experienced in preparing modified versions of our menu items to meet specific dietary restrictions.
When you book your catering, let us know about any dietary needs among your guests. We’ll work with you to ensure everyone has delicious options they can enjoy safely. This might include gluten-free bagel alternatives, dairy-free options, or completely separate menu items.
