Birthday & party catering — FAQs

What does birthday party catering cost?

Platter-based parties start around R120 per person, buffets from about R180, and spit braai parties from about R150 per person. Kids' parties are typically less. Tell us your guest count and the vibe you want — you will have a quote within 24 hours.

Do you cater kids' and kiddies' parties?

Yes — kid-friendly platters, mini burgers and hot dogs, dessert tables and themed treats, plus proper food for the parents. We handle the food so you can enjoy the party (and the chaos).

Can you cater a surprise party?

Discreetly, yes. We coordinate arrival times, setup and even the cake reveal with whoever is in on the secret — WhatsApp makes the covert planning easy.

We want a theme — can the food match?

That is our speciality. Bavarian beer-garden 50ths, Halloween horror buffets, elegant black-and-gold 21sts — see our themed party catering page for what is possible. Food, décor and music can all follow the theme.

Do you serve at home parties?

Absolutely — most birthday parties we cater are at private homes across Johannesburg and Pretoria. We bring everything, set up in your kitchen or garden, serve, and leave the place clean.

Can you organise more than the food?

Yes: tables, chairs, linen, gazebos, serving staff, and live entertainment through our partner Mark Beeling — a one-stop party, organised in one WhatsApp thread.
