Question 1

How much does catering cost per head in Ireland?

Accepted Answer

As a rough guide on typical Irish market rates, finger food and canapes run about €20 to €30 per head, buffets about €25 to €40, and a seated three-course menu about €45 to €70. Premium and fine-dining menus start from around €75 per head. Each caterer sets their own price, so the per-head total you see on a listing is the real price for that menu, shown before you book.

Question 2

Do you do corporate and office catering?

Accepted Answer

Yes, corporate and office catering is one of the most common bookings on CaterKin. Hosts cater working lunches, board meetings, staff parties, team away days, conferences and launch events across Ireland. You pick a package, see the per-head total upfront, and book instantly, which makes it easy to sort food for a fixed headcount and budget. Drop-off platters suit office lunches, while full service with staff suits larger corporate events.

Question 3

Can I book catering for a party or celebration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Caterers on CaterKin handle milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirements, christenings, communions, house warmings and dinner parties at home. You choose the style that fits, from grazing tables and buffets to a seated meal, and the price per head is clear before you commit. Because you book instantly, you can lock in your caterer once you've decided rather than waiting around.

Question 4

What's the difference between a buffet, canapes and a seated menu?

Accepted Answer

Canapes and finger food are small bites served at standing events and drinks receptions, good when people are mingling rather than sitting down. A buffet lays out a spread that guests serve themselves from, which suits relaxed gatherings and bigger numbers. A seated three-course menu is a proper sit-down dinner with courses brought to the table, usually with staff on the day. Buffets and finger food tend to cost less per head than a seated menu.

Question 5

Do caterers offer BBQ and grazing tables?

Accepted Answer

Yes, plenty of hosts list BBQ and grazing options. BBQ suits summer parties and outdoor events, with the caterer cooking on site. Grazing tables and platters work for relaxed celebrations where guests pick at the food through the event. You'll see exactly what's included and the price per head on the listing before you book.
