Small party catering for 25-100 guests
Small party catering covers house parties, kitty parties and birthdays from about 25 to 100 guests across the Tricity, with a shorter menu than a wedding and fewer live counters. Shahi Swaad plans veg, non-veg or Jain versions and delivers or sets up from the Ramgarh kitchen.
Working to a limited budget for a small get-together? Don't worry, tell Baljeet the guest count and amount, and a menu is planned to fit it.
How much does catering cost for a small party or birthday?
Small party catering is generally quoted lower per plate than a full wedding menu since the dish count and live counters are fewer. Cost still depends on the specific menu chosen, so Baljeet quotes an exact per-plate figure once he knows the guest count and dishes wanted.
What does a small party menu for 25-100 guests usually include?
A small party menu typically has one starter or live counter, two mains, rice or bread, and one sweet, a shorter version of the wedding format built for a smaller, more informal gathering like a house party or kitty party.
| Guests | Typical menu size |
|---|---|
| 25-40 | 1 starter, 2 mains, 1 sweet |
| 50-75 | 1-2 starters, 2-3 mains, 1 sweet |
| 75-100 | 2 starters/counters, 3 mains, 1-2 sweets |
What is the minimum guest count for house party catering?
House party bookings are generally accepted from around 25 guests, smaller than a typical wedding minimum, since the menu and staffing scale down for a home setting. Confirm your exact count with Baljeet since minimums can vary by date and season.
Can small party catering be delivered without on-site staff?
Yes, for smaller gatherings food can be delivered ready to serve without a full staff setup, which works well for a home party where the host manages serving. Larger small-party bookings closer to 100 guests usually benefit from at least basic serving staff.
Can a small party menu be fully Jain or fully non-veg?
Yes, the entire small party menu can be planned on one kitchen line, Pure Veg, Non-Veg or Jain, cooked separately, so a single small event does not need to mix requirements unless the host wants a combination.
Is small party catering available for a birthday at home?
Yes, home birthday parties are a common small-party booking, with a shorter menu delivered or set up directly at the house.
Can I book small party catering for a society clubhouse event?
Yes, clubhouse and community hall bookings for 50-100 guests are handled the same way as a home party, with delivery and setup planned for the venue.
Do small parties get the same veg/non-veg/Jain kitchen-line separation?
Yes, the same separate kitchen lines apply regardless of event size, so a small party can still request Jain or non-veg food cooked apart from the regular veg line.
How far in advance should a small party be booked?
A couple of weeks' notice is generally comfortable, though last-minute small orders can sometimes be accommodated depending on the date; check availability directly.
