Review of Creative Eateries

I use Creative Eateries pretty often for buffet catering and the food is good with generous portions. They’re easy to work with, very accommodating with menu tweaks and diet needs, and the selection is diverse. Pricing feels fair and competitive, and deliveries are usually on time, though once (out of ten times) they weren’t as quick as I hoped. The only small gripe is the food name tags could be more organized, but overall I’m happy and will keep using them.

Review of 3 Embers Culinary Craft Pte Ltd

I hired Joyce mostly because the menus are customizable and the quality of the food is pretty good. The price felt competitive, and overall everything was pretty good. I did think they should improve the onsite service staff a bit, and some staff were not as professional as the rest. Other than the service staff, the rest was all right and I would hire them again.

Review of the nourish co.

I’ve known Benedict for a couple of years now, from when he was running our local coffee shop and now with his food business. He is very reliable, really honest, and I love dealing with him. We’ve used him for the cafe, food bowls and food delivery, and he manages his team well, they’re all great as well. We would definitely use him again and recommend him to everybody.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people want to know before hiring catering companies in Singapore.

How much does catering cost in Singapore?
Caterers in Singapore typically charge S$18 to S$35 per pax for a standard buffet, and a mini buffet is S$10 to S$22 per pax. A premium buffet is S$35 to S$60 and up, office meal boxes around S$14.80, and corporate sets S$18 to S$24. Transport is often from S$50 on top, and a server costs S$120 to S$250. These are typical figures from our listed caterers (updated August 2026) and can change, so get a written quote, including GST.
How many catering companies does Locallista list in Singapore?
Locallista lists 3 catering companies in Singapore. Every business is screened before it is listed, and reviews are usually collected by phone from people who have used them. Contact details are visible after you sign up; you then speak to the caterer directly about the menu, your guest count and any halal or vegetarian needs.
How do I know a caterer is halal-certified?
If some of your guests are Muslim, look for a caterer certified by MUIS, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, and ask to see the halal certificate, which covers the kitchen as well as the food. A kitchen that is only Muslim-owned, or says no pork, no lard, is not the same as certified. For a mixed group, a certified caterer means everyone can eat everything.
What's the difference between a mini buffet, a buffet and meal boxes?
A mini buffet is a smaller spread for a small group, usually dropped off in disposable trays with little or no set-up. A standard buffet has more dishes, warmers and often a crew to set up and clear. Meal boxes, or bentos, suit offices and seminars where people eat at their desks. Pick by guest count and how much help you want on the day.
What should I check before hiring a caterer?
Check the caterer is licensed by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), and get the menu, portions per pax and the minimum order in writing. Ask whether transport, set-up, a buffet table, warmers and clearing away are included, and whether prices include GST. For a condo function room or an office, check delivery access and timing with the building's management first.
What should I avoid?
Avoid comparing quotes that don't cover the same things, and be wary of a low per pax price that leaves out transport, set-up or a minimum number of guests. Don't leave buffet food out longer than the caterer advises; follow the consume-by time they give you. If the quote is far below the usual S$18 to S$35 per pax for a standard buffet, ask what is left out.
How do I find a caterer I can trust in Singapore?
Read recent reviews and look for repeated comments about the food, enough of it for everyone, delivery on time and a tidy set-up and clear-up. On Locallista, reviews are usually collected by phone after the job, and listings are ranked by those scores. Ask for a sample menu before you book. Read the reviews, then contact the caterer you choose after you sign up.
