Full-Service Easter Event Catering
For people who want the whole meal experience managed, full‑service Easter event catering is usually the choice. You tell the team your guest count, choose a menu, and they take care of the rest: setup, service during the event, and cleanup afterwards. It removes a lot of pressure from the host it really does take that part off your plate.
Caterers in Kenya commonly price these services based on the number of guests, the style of food, and whether staff are included. If you’re planning an Easter gathering with a mix of older family members and children, this can feel especially reassuring, as service staff look after everything so you can focus on your guests.
Here’s a snapshot of typical costs for full‑service options you’ll find locally:
Table: Full‑Service Catering – Kenya Average Rates
| Service Type | Typical Rate (KSh per Person) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Full‑Service Event | 2,000 – 3,500 | Includes buffet or plated meals with basic staff support |
| Premium Full‑Service Event | 3,500 – 5,000 | More menu variety, formal presentation, extra staff |
| High‑End Full Service | 5,000+ | Includes decorations, bespoke menu, extended service time |
These figures are typical for events that include service staff on site to serve food, refill stations, and pack up kitchens afterwards. Some venues charge extra for tents or décor, so always check with your provider if those are part of your plan.
Take‑Home Easter Packages
If your Easter celebration is at home and you don’t need service staff, take‑home catering gives you a way to enjoy professional food without full setup. Food is prepared, packed safely, and delivered to your location you serve it at your own pace.
Take‑home packages are usually the most budget‑friendly because they don’t include staff and service time at the event. They’re a good option for smaller gatherings where you want good food but are comfortable setting it out yourself.
Take‑home or drop‑off style catering in Kenya often resembles boxed lunches or large trays of food. Prices can vary by number of dishes and how elaborate the menu is.
Table: Take‑Home Catering Prices (per Person)
| Service Type | Typical Rate (KSh) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Drop‑off Meal | 800 – 1,200 | Single main course with sides |
| Standard Take‑Home Package | 1,200 – 1,800 | 2 mains plus sides and simple dessert |
| Large Family Pack | 1,800 – 2,500 | Multiple dishes for larger groups |
This can be a really good option for a tight budget, or if you’re planning a more casual Easter lunch at home with relatives. Buying in bulk and picking up the meal yourself can also sometimes lower the overall cost.
Easter Buffet Packages
Buffet catering is common in Kenya because it gives guests choice and lets them return for seconds if they’d like. It also works well for big families, friends’ gatherings, or community events. Buffet setups are usually delivered with staff to keep food warm and tidy, and you can pick how many dishes you want featured.
Often a buffet is divided into tiers by the number and kind of dishes on offer from simpler setups to more lavish ones with several mains, sides, salads, and desserts. This style feels relaxed, which seems appropriate for Easter people often chat around the food, going back for their favourites, rather than sitting rigidly.
Below is a harmony of pricing seen for buffet catering around Kenya, adjusted for events like Easter.
Table: Buffet Catering Packages for Easter (per Person)
| Package Type | Price Range (KSh) | Typical Features |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Buffet | 1,500 – 2,500 | Up to 4 dishes, basic sides |
| Mid‑Range Buffet | 2,500 – 3,500 | 5 or more dishes, salads, desserts |
| Premium Buffet | 3,500 – 5,000 | Larger selection, carving station or chef presence |
In some cases, buffet packages also fold in basic drink options like water and juice, but often drinks are charged separately (see next section). Buffets are often less formal, and the pace of the event can feel more casual compared to plated services.
Easter Drinks Catering
Beverages are often forgotten until the day of the event, and then suddenly you realise there aren’t enough cold drinks on a warm Easter afternoon. Good catering takes beverages seriously. Companies often offer drinks packages that can be added to food services or ordered separately.
In Kenya, drinks packages for events typically include fresh juice, soft drinks, mocktails, and bottled water. If you anticipate guests of all ages including children and older family members a well‑chosen drinks list keeps everyone refreshed throughout the event.
Below is a pricing range based on drinks bundles offered with catering companies:
Table: Drinks Catering Options (per Person)
| Drink Package | Typical Rate (KSh) | What’s Included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Refresh | 400 – 600 | Water + fresh juice |
| Standard Beverage Bundle | 600 – 900 | Juice + soft drinks + water |
| Celebration Drinks | 900 – 1,200 | Juice, soft drinks and premium mocktail options |
Some families serving large groups find it easier to have all drinks delivered chilled and ready to serve. Others prefer to stock their own drinks at a shop price and just focus on the food from their caterer. Either way, knowing the standard prices in your region helps you plan your total Easter budget without surprise costs.
