Event & Party Buffet Catering in St Ives
Buffet catering in St Ives is a spread made fresh that morning in our Redruth kitchen, delivered to your venue and set out 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 St Ives from our Redruth kitchen, about 25 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.
