What Is Outside Catering, by Hauchi Kay Catering

Cooking done centrally or on-site with portable equipment.

Serving staff and waiters

One waiter per 15–20 guests for a smooth, well paced service.

Service stations and buffet tables set up and cleared for you.

Tableware and cutlery

Serving dishes, cutlery and crockery confirmed with you in advance.
