Local logistics
Running Grazing Table service at Aundh venues
A grazing table is built in place on the day and cannot be moved once it is dressed, so the position is final: it needs length, shade and a room cool enough to hold cheese and charcuterie safely. Around ITI Road in Aundh we mostly work society clubhouses and banquet halls, and in a banquet or convention space the venue's loading dock slot and its own kitchen rules decide the setup order, so the counter layout is signed off with the venue before the date rather than on it. So for this booking we need a long table position out of direct sun, fixed at the recce and not moved on the day. Setup is four hours on site before service, and the counters are sized so the line holds 75-100 guests per hour per counter.
Load-in
The venue's loading dock, in the slot the venue gives us.
Power
Supplied by the venue at the positions it allows, agreed with its banqueting team before the date.
Open flame
Subject to the venue's own fire rules, with charcoal counters given an outdoor or ducted position.
The venue comes first
Its kitchen rules and setup order decide ours, so the counter layout is signed off in advance.
Live counters
Counters that work at Aundh venues
A banquet or convention venue runs its own fire and kitchen rules. Power-point counters are straightforward here; anything on charcoal is agreed with the venue and given an outdoor or ducted position.
The open-air counters in this list stand outside, so a monsoon date needs a covered position agreed before it is quoted. How the calendar behaves across Pune City is on the region page.

Planning
Guest count and what it needs in Aundh
Banquet floors are already sized for these numbers, so what moves with the guest count is the dock slot and the number of stewards rather than the room.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
The highlighted row is the size these bookings usually run to. Counter numbers move with the service window as well as the headcount — a fixed lunch break needs more stations than the same headcount spread over an evening.

FAQs
Grazing Table catering in Aundh
Do you cater society clubhouses and banquet halls in Aundh?
Yes — that is exactly what we cater here. Around ITI Road the venues we work are society clubhouses and banquet halls. Aundh sits inside our Pune City run, alongside Koregaon Park, Kalyani Nagar, Viman Nagar, Camp, Shivajinagar. Every Pune city neighbourhood on this page sits inside the standard service run, so travel and logistics are not quoted on top of the per-plate rate.
What does Grazing Table catering cost in Aundh?
A grazing table is quoted per station rather than per plate: ₹18,000–₹65,000 per station. Quoted per station by length and produce, not per plate — the one booking we take under 100 guests. Everything else we serve alongside it sits inside ₹450–₹2,200 per plate. The rate covers chefs and counter cooks for every station and chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery; gST on the invoice and premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce are quoted on top.
How many live counters and how much service staff does Grazing Table catering in Aundh need?
At 250 guests — the size these bookings usually run to — we plan 3-4 live counters and 10-12 service staff, with 16-18 dishes on the menu and 4 hrs of setup. The ratios behind that are one live counter per 75 guests and one steward per 25 guests, or one steward per 12 guests for plated service. Because Aundh work is mostly society clubhouses and banquet halls, in a banquet or convention space the venue's loading dock slot and its own kitchen rules decide the setup order, so the counter layout is signed off with the venue before the date rather than on it.
What does Grazing Table catering need from a venue in Aundh?
A grazing table is built in place on the day and cannot be moved once it is dressed, so the position is final: it needs length, shade and a room cool enough to hold cheese and charcuterie safely. In practical terms we need a long table position out of direct sun, fixed at the recce and not moved on the day. We confirm it at the recce before the date rather than on the morning of the event.
How far ahead should we book Grazing Table catering in Aundh?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most Aundh dates. Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity. Pune's wedding season runs October to February, overlapping the city's own Ganeshotsav and Diwali corporate calendar, when dates go six to ten weeks ahead. The monsoon between June and September shifts open-lawn functions towards covered mandaps and indoor banquet halls rather than cancelling them.
Can the Grazing Table menu be run Jain, pure vegetarian or no-onion-no-garlic in Aundh?
Yes. Any menu we cater, this one included, can be cooked pure vegetarian, Jain or satvik on a separate line with separate utensils and separate storage. A second line means a second counter, so in Aundh — where we are working society clubhouses and banquet halls — the layout is planned for it at the recce rather than squeezed in later. The tasting happens before you confirm, so the menu is signed off before anything is paid.
