How much food do you need for a catered event?

The most common catering question we hear is how much to order. These are the quantities our catering leads use.

Grazing boards

For a cocktail hour before dinner, plan on one small board for every ten guests. If the board is the whole meal, double it.

Boxed lunches

One box per guest, plus two spare for every twenty guests. Somebody always brings a colleague.

Buffets

Allow six ounces of protein and a cup of sides per guest. Our catering team will confirm quantities when you book a consultation.
