We offer Simple, Easy , Delicious Catering.
Our past clientele includes NFL Linebacker Ray Lewis, and a crap-ton of celebrities and local businesses over the past 40 some years. We have good food and large portions, to make your employees or guests happy.
WHAT YOU GET: We offer an all you can eat window of serving, for food to be consumed onsite. Not one skimpy serving–enough yummies for your family, guests, or employees (who will l love you for hiring us.) Normally for parties of 100 this is a 2 to 2.5 hour* window (depending on appetizers/etc) Larger companies or companies who need us to serve in shifts, we can work with you. Why choose us? Unlike other caterers who may charge per selection, we don’t. Food is served buffet style where guests approach, and our prices are published.
WHAT YOU DO: Pick up to 4 meats, 3 sides, get all the fixings, bread, and disposable paper goods, cups and utensils. All parties get a free lemonade and tea station, and assorted can sodas and bottled water. We handle the buffet area from covering the tables with plastic tablecloths to supplying disposable paper goods, utensils, cups, ice for drinks, rolls, and fixing’s for your selections. That’s it. However, you must inquire if the date is available. Text or call 410-908-9241. Emails take forever as we are on the road but the texts are answered quicker.
FANCY WEDDING? We aren’t always the best fit unless you have a casual wedding or barn style event. Fancy halls- we’ve done them and generally require use of their kitchen and will set up a buffet. We can use your plates and glasswares on the buffet table, or you may set the tables with your wares, but we do nor provide china or glassware NOR do we serve to the table or bus the tables.
IF THE DATE IS A GO:
- We will do a contract ask you for a 25 percent deposit.
- The balance, selections, and final head count are due 3 weeks prior to the event.
- If you have a large event and/or company card with limits and need payment plans, we offer that via Square.
- For catering we accept Checks, Cash, Money Orders (all which get a cash discount) or Square.
- We will then provide you with access to our permits, and provide you with our insurance listing you as an additional insured since we are under contract with you.
- Please if YOU rent the venue, most venues will require you to obtain additional event insurance which usually is available on your homeowners, so be sure to read their rental contract. Our insurance extends to whomever we contract with, in which case would be with YOU and not the hall.
- If we have not done catering with you before, we will do a walk though (continue reading).
Logistics/Walkthrough: (Tent or Building, Private Area or Venue)
We will work out logistics and usually pick a day to meet you at the place of the event to do a walk through. This way we can map out space and check for electrical outlets. If we are using our food trailer, it is contained, and we will not need access to much. Tented events will usually require 1 standard 15 amp plug and ample room to set up our catering area. If we are taking food indoors, we will need to have access to the closest doors/entry. This contract is also contingent on the fact we have access to your venue and will do a walk through with the venue and you, and hammer out all the details. . On the day of, usually we arrive 4 hours early prior to event serving time so early access to the venue is required. Make sure we will have EARLY access to the venue.
Our food trailer is large, almost 40′ long and good for colder months. We don’t take this too far.
TENT DISCLAIMER or FOOD TRAILER: Our food trailer is in use in the colder months. As for Spring, Summer and Fall events, we have our own catering tent and serving tent, however these tents are CARNIVAL COLORS such as red / white or red/black or green/black etc. If you choose to rent white tents for us to cook under, or serve under, they must be flame retardant and we will not be responsible if the charcoal or wood turns the tents colors. We also handle all our own equipment and tables for our serving area, and clean up of it after.

EXTRA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
Q: I have dietary restrictions for some of my guests. What can we do?
A: If you have special dietary restrictions or are in need of something NOT listed then please let us know. We can work with you but if it requires special ingredients there may be an upcharge.
Q: I want the bride and groom to have a special meal prepared by Big Fat Daddy himself, but my guests to have the buffet. Is this possible?
A: We can do, and this will be an add on for the bride and groom. Inquire for special pricing.
Q: What if I want upgraded dinnerware or serving ware?
A: We provide disposable basic in the quote and is generic whatever is available from our supplier. Keep in mind there is unstable market trends and what products are available due to Covid closures and lack of help, many factories have gone to hell in a handbag. Many customers have rented dinnerware or buy the kind that looks fancy from Sam’s Club or Amazon and they are actually plastic. Just give them to us to serve on. That’s fine by us but we do not serve to table, it will be served off a buffet.
Q: My party is cancelled a few weeks before what can I do?
A: As we have blacked out that date for you, the deposit is non refundable, however, if we can work with you on another date, we will gladly move it . This is not always possible as we are in curbside and fair/festival contracts as well.
Q: Can I keep the leftovers?
A: As we offer an all you can eat buffet, this pricing is for onsite consumption. As we will always bring more than is needed, all sodas/meats/etc aka leftovers are property of us as we work with a local organization and donate the leftovers. For those who hired us, we will gladly make containers of leftovers for the host as a courtesy 🙂
Q: Do you offer tent rental, tables and chairs?
We have stopped offering this service. We want to focus on making food.
Q: Do you offer table service, or clean up in the guest seating area?
We provide trash receptacles for disposal of food items, but we do not serve to the table or remove the plates from the table as we stay in the buffet area. If you have a wedding coordinator, make sure they have someone assigned to clear the tables.
