Ideas that consistently work

Fun, allergen-aware kids party catering with interactive counters.

• Kid-friendly portions
• Nut-free and allergen labelling
• Interactive DIY counters
• Themed presentation

A menu shape that actually works

The most common mistake is ordering too many dishes and too few counters. Guests queue, food sits, and everything feels lukewarm. We would rather cook eight dishes brilliantly across three live stations than twenty on a static buffet.

A blend that consistently works in the Pune belt pairs Seafood with Japanese: familiar enough for elders, interesting enough for a younger crowd.

• Prawn koliwada
• Bombil fry
• Rawas tikka
• Crab cakes
• Malvani fish curry
• Goan prawn curry
• Butter garlic crab
• Squid masala
• Solkadhi
• Neer dosa

Logistics, timings and venue rules across the Pune belt

Pune venues are strict about load-in windows, lift access, gas cylinders and open-flame counters. We survey the venue before the event, confirm what the society or hotel allows, and design the counter layout around it.

Pune City is a good example. From Koregaon Park lawns and Kothrud banquet halls to Baner rooftop venues and Camp heritage clubs, our Pune team caters weddings, corporate events and large celebrations of 100+ guests across the city's core and western neighbourhoods.

Our standard run is four hours on site before service for buffets and six hours for a full wedding spread, with service staff at one steward per 25 guests for buffets and one steward per 12 guests for plated service. Everything is cleared and the space handed back clean before the team leaves.

• Venue recce and counter layout plan before the event date
• Live counters where open flame is permitted; induction and pre-seared alternatives where it is not
• Separate vegetarian, Jain and satvik lines with dedicated utensils
• FSSAI-compliant kitchen, temperature logs and covered transport
• Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover after service

How to book, and how far ahead

Peak dates need six to ten weeks: October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Everything else is usually comfortable at two to three weeks, and we do take short-notice bookings when the kitchen has capacity.

The sequence is simple: share date, venue and guest count; we send a written per-plate quote the same day; we arrange a tasting for confirmed enquiries; you finalise the menu and spice levels after tasting; we do a venue recce and lock the counter plan.

• Call or WhatsApp +91 96731 98867 with date, venue and headcount
• Written per-plate quote the same day
• Tasting session before you pay in full
• Venue recce and counter layout confirmation
• Setup, live service and full clearance on the day
• Short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity
