Catering FAQ
How far in advance should I place a catering order?
We recommend booking at least 48 hours ahead of your event so we can make sure everything is fresh and ready on time. That said, reach out even for last-minute requests — we'll do our best to accommodate you.
Is there a minimum order size?
Most of our catering packages are designed for groups of 10 or more. Have a smaller group? Give us a call and we'll see what we can put together.
Do you offer delivery, or is it pickup only?
Pickup is always available at our Santee location. Local delivery may be available depending on your event size and location — just ask when you place your order.
Can I customize a menu for my event?
Absolutely. Let us know what you have in mind — dietary needs, favorite dishes, guest count — and we'll help build a menu that fits.
What areas do you cater to?
We primarily serve Santee and the greater San Diego East County area. Reach out with your event location and we'll let you know if we can make it work.
