Event & Party Buffet Catering in Padstow
Buffet catering in Padstow is a spread made fresh that morning in our Redruth kitchen, delivered to your venue ready for guests to help themselves. Hot fork buffets, cold platters and afternoon tea are arranged on the table before guests arrive, so nothing needs cooking or plating at your end. Prices start from £7.95pp including VAT, and cover the food, the equipment and the setup. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options carry no surcharge, and everything arrives ready to serve. We travel to Padstow from our Redruth kitchen, about 40 minutes away, and cover it regularly. We need somewhere to set the food down and vehicle access to unload, and we handle the rest. We agree a ready-by time with you and deliver ahead of it, so the food is not sitting around before guests arrive.
