Q: Are menu prices the same for both on site and off site events?
A: We pride ourselves on our affordable pricing, please add $2.00 p.p. to entree or buffet prices for off site catering. Thank you.
Q: How much of a deposit or percentage of the event is due at the time of "booking" or reserving the date?
A: None, I find deposits to be unnecessary paperwork. It has been my experience, after catering literally thousands of weddings and private events over several decades, that if someone tells me they are getting married, "they are not lying!"
Q: When do you need me to make my menu choices?
A: We need your menu choices the week of the event. I hear this question more often than any other. We let the customer wait until 4 days from the event to give me the "final count." This will save you a lot of money as you will not be paying or people not coming, as 4 days prior to the even you will have it "nailed down" pretty good. This also helps you to know that we order everything fresh, as we will not know your menu selections until just before your event.
Q: When do I need to tell you exactly how many guests will be attending for billing purposes?
A: The week of the event (four days) as all orders have to be placed by Tuesday for weekend deliveries.
Q: How do I actually "book" or "reserve" a date?
A: Simply call Lloyd at 603.752.5517 or Email Me, and we will check on date availability. If it is open, I will send you a contract that day, you sign it and return it to me by mail. We even provide a self addressed stamped envelope. That's it, your date is reserved and your event "Booked."
Q: Do you provide references?
A:Yes, we have hundreds of references available, from The Governor of New Hampshire to our large Corporate Customers, some we've been serving for over 20 years. Additional references are available upon request.
What size parties / events do you cater?
A:Parties from as small as 40 to as many as you need. There is a nominal fee for events a long way from The Chalet.
