Frequently asked questions
How much is catering in Tai Po?
In Tai Po, expect the national typical per head for your service style, with plated service, premium menus and full staffing pushing the total up. Ask whether the quote includes staff, hire, service charge and travel, not just food.
How do I find a good caterer near me in Tai Po?
In Tai Po, get quotes from three caterers with a written per-head and staffing breakdown, check food-hygiene registration and reviews, and do a tasting for bigger events. Compare on total cost per guest including staff and hire, not the headline food price.
How much do catering staff and hire add?
Staffing and equipment hire can add 20-40% on top of the food, especially for plated service and events without a venue kitchen. Servers, chefs, bar staff, crockery, glassware and linen all cost. Get these itemised so you can compare like with like.
How far in advance should I book a caterer?
For weddings and large events, 6-12 months ahead secures popular caterers and dates; smaller parties, a few weeks to a couple of months. Book earlier for peak season (summer weddings, December). A tasting before you commit is standard for bigger events.
What's included in a catering quote?
Look for: per-head food price, service style, staff (chefs, servers) and hours, equipment hire (crockery, glassware, linen, chafing dishes), setup and clear-down, travel, and any bar or drinks package. A per-head number alone hides staffing and hire costs that can rival the food.
How much does catering cost per person?
Caterers price per head, and the service style drives it: a drop-off or finger buffet is cheapest, a served buffet mid-range, and a plated multi-course dinner the most. Staffing, bar service, hire (crockery, linen) and travel are usually on top of the per-head food price.
How is catering priced in Hong Kong?
Cocktail and buffet catering runs roughly HK$200-800 per head; Chinese banquets HK$2,500-9,000 per table of 12. A 100-guest wedding banquet commonly totals HK$40,000-160,000 depending on venue and menu tier.
