FAQs
Our Sales Office is open Monday through Friday from 9:00am till 5:00pm and by appointment. Any question you ask is important, and we encourage you to ask! The following questions come up quite often.
Have you been in business long?
Our first catered event was a small dinner party. That was back on September 15, 1985!
What are your prices?
Each group is different and every event is different, but we have developed very fair pricing based on typical needs and wants. Please take a moment to go to the Request Information page on this website. We will get you the pricing and any other material that you need.
How far do you travel?
Our primary areas of service are Lancaster, Dauphin and York Counties. However, for a small added travel charge, we have traveled to Cumberland, Adams, Lebanon, Berks and Chester Counties as well.
How many people are you able to accommodate?

Are you licensed and insured?
This is a very important question to ask any business you ever deal with. All of our facilities are inspected and licensed by the PA Department of Agriculture. Our insurance coverage includes product liability, personal injury, worker's compensation and fire & theft.
What types of menus do you have?
We believe that simple is best. The vast majority of our food is made from scratch on the day of your event. In terms of style, our "main cuisine" could be called "Classic American." However, we make excellent German, Italian, Asian, French, Mexican, Mediterranean and Kosher style foods. The printed menus that we have relate to types of events. You may view many of these on this web site, or request them by calling our office.
How many servers will work my event?
Quite a few of our events or deliveries are serviced by just one of our experienced staff. Most dinners and wedding receptions have a server per each 15-25 guests (depending on the menu or style of service). Just picnics events have one server per 100 guests (first 400 guests). Events at your location require staff for delivery, set-up and clean-up, which are calculated for each group individually.
Do your Event Coordinators attend the party?
Normally they do not, but there are some occasions when they may stop by at the beginning to help greet your guests.
What are your office hours?
Our Main Office in Mount Joy is open Monday through Friday from 9:00am until 5:00pm. We may also schedule a meeting during the evening or Saturdays. Please call to make an appointment.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes we do! (Visa, MasterCard, Discover/Novus, American Express and Optima). At the present time we do not accept debit (MAC) cards. We also accept checks or cash!
Do you offer payment terms?
Established business accounts may be granted credit upon completion of a Credit Application.
