Do I need a chef?
Chefs are required for any function where food needs preparation
or cooking. Cold menus & drop offs do not need
kitchen staff
(depending on numbers & complexities). Again we will
advise
your individual circumstances with you.
How many items of fingerfood should I allow per person?
Many factors influence the amount of fingerfood allocated per
person. The time of the day, demographics and function
style will
alter the quantities. Allow more food over the meal
times (ie
breakfast, lunch and dinner). Allow more food where the
ratio
of men to women is higher. Factor in whether alcohol is
being
served (people will get hungry then).
Can Crave Catering cater at my house?
Yes - any location, anywhere (except venues that already have in house caterers).
Can you cater on weekends?
Yes, we are open when you are!
Can we taste the food before we order it?
We are proud to be leading the way in regular tasting evenings which are held in our kitchen in South Yarra. There we offer guests a chance to not only view our premises, but also sip on some wine whilst enjoying a cross section of our menus. We also hold private tastings specific to your chosen menu.
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes, we accept VISA, Mastercard and Bankcard. We do accept Diners
and AMEX but they will incur a 3% fee.
