GOOD QUESTIONS
BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Need something different? The quote request is the right place to ask.
Can you cater a wedding or private event?
Yes. We quote weddings, private events, and gatherings around Mooresville and nearby communities based on the menu, headcount, location, and service style.
Can you bring the actual food truck?
Yes, food-truck service is an option for some events. Tell us your date and location so we can review what fits.
Can you deliver food without serving it?
Yes. Drop-off catering is one of the available service styles. The published general catering delivery rate is $10 plus 5% of the order; outside 10 miles of the Mooresville commissary may add a gas surcharge. Your quote confirms the actual charge.
How much does catering cost?
It depends on the meats, sides, guest count, and whether you want delivery, staffed service, or the food truck. Published meat, side-pan and lunch package prices are listed above. The final quote confirms taxes, delivery, equipment and any staffed service.
Do I have to pay to request a quote?
No. Submitting the online request doesn't require payment. A deposit may be required once you approve the details and confirm the booking.
GOT PEOPLE TO FEED?
Tell us the date, the place, the number of people, and what sounds good. We'll take it from there.
