Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What does catering cost?

Caroline’s is a full service catering company with an experienced and professional staff. The number of staff for your event will be determined by the number of total guests attending. We recommend 1 Cook and 1 Server per every 20 to 25 guest (depending on the style / menu). The cost per Server / Cook is $40 per hour with a five hour minimum. We apply a catering production fee of 10% of the cost of food. This fee serves to help offset some of the back-end costs of producing offsite events such as: insurance, utilities, uniforms, rubbish removal, recycling, administrative costs and catering van maintenance. This fee is not a gratuity

How far in advance should I place my catering order?

We ask for 48-hour’s notice on all catering orders for more than 20 people. We’ll prepare all orders for less than 20 with 24 hours advanced notice. If you know you want to place an order months in advance, that’s great!
We’re happy to place the order as soon as we hear from you.

Do you deliver catering orders?

We sure do offer FREE delivery if your order is greater than $100 in the Bedford area. If your order is less than $100, we charge a nominal fee of $25. Otherwise, you can place your order for pickup and we’ll help you load it in your car. For orders outside of of the greater Bedford area we charge for travel & mileage. ($35/hour.)

We offer two other types of service as well: We can deliver and completely set up your order for $150. The food will arrive at the appropriate temperature and will be set up on your platters and displayed on your buffet. If you’d rather use our platters you can rent them for $10 each with a $100 refundable deposit. Everything will match nicely and look it’s best!

We also offer Full Service. In these instances our highly trained Chefs and Servers will come to your home or venue and prepare your food on site. Servers will pass appetizers, serve at the Buffet or offer Seated/Plated meals, and leave it cleaner than they found it! We offer Menu Consultation and Event Planning Services for a nominal fee of $75. Let our experienced Chefs, Servers and Event Managers create your dream event!

Do I need to supply my own plates, forks, and napkins when I order catering?

Reviews

Feeling so grateful for Caroline and Caroline’s Full-Service Catering. Two weeks ago I ordered her prepared meals to go for my husband because I was scheduled to go away for a number of days to a conference. A personal matter came up and I canceled the trip so we had her meals during days when I had NO interest in cooking. Not only were the meals delicious and healthy but she generously offered to bring them to us if we needed her to do so. I was able to pick them up but her giving spirit of service in a time of need was greatly appreciated.
