Service

Any size, any style

A seated dinner for six and a gala for thousands are planned differently. We shape the menu, the service style and the team around your guest count and your venue: plated, family style, stations, or passed bites through the evening.

Tell us your guest count and venue, and the kind of evening you have in mind.

Questions

Before you inquire

How many guests can Indulge Chefs cater for?

We cater events from six guests to three thousand. A dinner for six and a gala for thousands are planned differently, so tell us your guest count, venue and the style of service you have in mind, whether seated dinner, family style, stations or passed bites, and we will shape the menu and the team around it.

Can you cater at our home, rental or venue?

Yes. We cook in private homes, rental houses, estates and event venues. For larger events we plan the kitchen setup with your venue in advance. Share the address or venue name in your inquiry and we will be in touch with any questions about the space.

Can you accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions?

Yes. Every menu is written for the people at the table, so allergies, intolerances and preferences such as vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free or kosher-style are planned in from the start. List every guest's needs in your inquiry, and we will confirm the menu with you before the event.

How far in advance should we book?

Inquire as soon as you know your date. Summer weekends in The Hamptons, holidays and wedding season fill first, and larger events need more planning time. Send your date even if it is still tentative, and we will confirm availability when we reply.

Anything else, ask us directly.
