Top Party Catering related questions
This will depend on the Tasker’s terms and conditions. An advance deposit might be required to procure supplies and consumables for the event, such as ingredients, as well as upfront labour fees. To ensure your expectations are aligned with the service to be provided, it is best to discuss this matter with your Tasker.
While many caterers available on Airtasker are equipped to service different types of events, it may still depend on the individual if they are willing to take on a baby shower catering request. Consult the party caterer near you before officially booking the service or specify your needs when posting your task.
Party caterers near you will come equipped with a complete set of equipment including plates, utensils, and everything they will need to serve the food. They are also responsible for setting up your tables and linens. You will not need to provide anything else.
Not all the time. This depends on the party catering service you have chosen for your party. Plated dining service requires a staff member as they will be serving dishes for every course. However, a buffet catering service will not always require staff.
Yes, you can! While caterers can advise on ideal food options for a given event or to accommodate specific dietary restrictions, you have the freedom to select every food item on the menu. This includes drinks, which you can also customise. If you request a specific brand of liquor, your Tasker may arrange this for you, provided you give ample time for preparation and are ready to cover any extra costs for this special request.
Yes, Taskers will need an alcohol licence, particularly a premises licence, to serve alcohol, including cocktails. In addition to this, Taskers must also have a valid business permit to operate a cocktail catering business. Reach out to your Tasker if you need to discuss this in detail.
Airtasker can cater to all your party needs from food to event documentation. You can hire event planners on Airtasker for a hassle-free experience organising your event or book a local photographer to capture those special moments.

What do party catering services include?
It’s nearly impossible to pull off a successful event without a trusted caterer, especially if you’re set to feed hundreds. With Airtasker, you can find the most suitable party caterer near you and let them handle the food service on your behalf.Â
Taskers can help you every step of the way, from developing a menu everyone will adore, customising it to match any theme requirements for the occasion, serving food during the actual event, and managing the after-party cleanup.
Here are some popular service options for to try at the next party catering near you for a worry-free celebration:
Buffet style catering
If you’re working with a limited budget, buffets are a wise catering option to consider. They’re considered versatile and practical for their many advantages. Aside from being the economical choice, they are also much easier to organise compared to other options. The wide selection of food choices also always results in satisfied guests. Buffets are recommended for parties with a large number of attendees, such as weddings and company events, as hosts can cater to different dietary restrictions or preferences. The self-serving nature of buffets also means that organisers need not shell out extra payments for servers and waitstaff.
Cocktail catering
If you want to encourage guests to socialise and mingle, you might appreciate cocktail catering. Ideal for corporate networking events and similar affairs, this dining style is best known for small plates, handhelds, outdoor herbs, and other appetisers, along with a lovely bar and beverage service. Guests typically stand at high-top cocktail tables to enjoy their meals, but hosts can also opt for bar stools or traditional dining room table seating.
Cocktail catering is perfect for intimate gatherings and pre-events for larger occasions like conferences. Given the setup, it is also usually more cost-effective compared to other dining options.
Food stations
For parties that require a hint of creativity, consider getting food stations. Comparable to buffets for the variety of food and beverage options, this dining style offers a more interesting take as each table highlights a specific—and often uniquely served—type of food or drink. In the UK, some exciting trends include stations for cheeses, sushi, and even artisan bread and antipasto salad.Â
Food stations are adaptable to any venue size, making it a practical choice. It is also ideal for theme-specific events, Halloween parties, or baby shower catering, as dining options can also be easily customised.
Plated dining service
For more sophisticated or formal gatherings like fundraisers and galas, your best choice is plated dining. Another popular party catering style, typically fancier in comparison to others, plated dining also comes with a higher price tag.
Selecting this for your event requires organisers to be hands-on with the planning, not only with the food choices, but also the other various elements that affect the dining experience, including tableware, tables and chairs, linens, and waitstaff. With plated dining, meals are served by waitstaff to all guests at the same time. Guests can also pick out from a predetermined menu provided when they RSVP to the event.
