1 hire on Fash
Serves Costa Mesa, CA
Priscilla C. says, " Found this gem on DoorDash for pickup and it didn’t disappoint! Cali Fried is such a hidden treasure. I ordered the Surf and Sea box and it definitely hit the spot. I believe it came with 6 jumbo shrimp (ate it too fast to even count) one large piece of catfish, hush puppies, seasoned fries and Hawaiian bread. I also ordered the breaded Okra. Everything was fresh & hot, crispy, and seasoned. My plate was definitely finger-licking good. The food, paired with the excellent customer service I received when picking up for takeout, makes this place worthy a return visit in the near future." Read more

Your Wedding and Event Catering questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

Catering costs $10 to $35 per person for basic party food or a drop-off service. On average, caterers charge $500 to $7,500 total for 50 guests, $1,000 to $15,000 for 100 guests, and $1,500 to $23,000 for 150 guests. Alcohol or bartending options often cost extra.

Formal catering or wedding catering costs $30 to $200 per person for plated meals, a buffet, or food stations. A food truck rental costs $10 to $40 per person, depending on the type of event and whether you hire the truck on a weekend or holiday. Popular food truck menu options include tacos, pizza, BBQ, and ice cream.

Catering means supplying food and drink at a party, wedding, or other gathering. Some catering companies provide waitstaff, while others offer self-serve buffet stations or simply drop off prepared food to an event. Different catering companies provide different types of foods and cuisines, including:

  • Italian
  • Mexican
  • Barbeque
  • Japanese
  • Pizza
  • Sandwiches
  • Ice cream
  • Breakfast or brunch

Most caterers recommend ordering at least a few weeks to 6 months in advance, depending on the type of event and number of guests. However, catering a small party may not require as much advance time as a wedding, holiday party, or large corporate event.

Large chain restaurants often provide limited, drop-off catering services and require less notice than professional catering companies. Some chain restaurants and grocery stores offer catering services with only one day's notice.

Caterers supply all the food for your event, either cooking it on-site or preparing it in their own kitchen beforehand. Many catering services include serving dishes, plates, glasses, and silverware in their price. Some caterers also offer tables, chairs, linens, or custom place settings for an added fee.

Caterers typically serve food for 1 to 4 hours, depending on the time of year and number of guests. Setup usually takes 1 to 2 hours. Ask your caterer whether they will include any of the setup or cleanup time in their estimate.

Some caterers include a gratuity charge of 15% to 20% on your bill that is split between the servers. Before adding a cash tip, ask your caterer or review the contract to make sure a gratuity charge is not already included. If you decide to give cash tips directly, pay each person between $15 to $50.

Search our list of caterers, then:

  • Get three or more free estimates to compare.
  • Read their reviews and menus on Fash and Google.
  • Choose a licensed, insured, and experienced company.
  • Try menu tasting before your event if possible.
  • Make sure they're a good fit for your budget and schedule.
  • Get a written estimate or contract.
  • Avoid making a large payment before your event begins.

After reading reviews and asking questions, hire the best company in your area.

When looking for local catering companies, consider asking the following questions:

  • How long have you been catering?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How far in advance do I need to book?
  • What is your cancellation policy?
  • Do you allow menu changes?
  • Will you bring prepared food, or will you prepare it onsite?
  • How long will you be able to serve food?
  • How long do you need to set up?
  • Do you charge extra for travel fees?
  • Will you give me a written estimate and contract?

All I can say is AMAZING! I've been wanting, for quite some time, to find a place that serves southern style fried Catfish and finally I've found it. My wife ordered the shrimp. Worth every bit of the price. Portions are HUGE! Delicious flavor. Definitely will frequent Cali Fried again. Great job Sean and crew!

We just had the Taqueria El Fuego catering company provide dinner for our reception in our neighborhood. The team that came set up a cooking station and taco bar within 30 minutes and started serving delicious carnitas, beef and chicken fajitas, rice, beans, the whole works for our guests. They came with everything, served, cleaned up after. Everyone loved the food. We had a lot left over which they were kind enough to put in the plastic containers I brought. Excellent meats, tortillas, fresh condiments... So delicious! I highly recommend. Also, Chef Alex was easy to reach and he responded quickly to texts! A 5 star company for your next party or event!
