One buffet, many of Singapore's best kitchens

With traditional buffet catering, every dish usually comes from one central kitchen. Livingmenu builds your buffet from multiple food stalls, each focused on the dishes it does best.

You still get one order, one delivery and one invoice. We coordinate everything behind the scenes.

  • Set up with food warmers

    Dishes are laid out in chafing dishes so food stays warm while guests serve themselves.

  • As low as $10 per pax for large events

    A wide spread of local favourites. Groups start from 10 pax, and the per-pax price drops as your headcount grows.

  • Halal and vegetarian options

    Request a halal menu from Muslim-owned stalls, or add vegetarian dishes for your guests.

  • Fully customisable menu

    Choose your dishes, budget per pax and dietary needs, then swap any dish to match your event.

Festive buffet catering

Celebrate the season with a festive buffet

Bring everyone together for Chinese New Year, Hari Raya and Christmas with menus built around the dishes everyone looks forward to.

Before you order

How ordering works

  • Book early for popular dates

    Our cutoff is one day before your event. In practice, order earlier: festive periods, year-end parties and weekend slots fill up well ahead, and booking early secures both your slot and the dishes you want.

  • Buffet delivery and setup $90

    One fee covers delivery, a full setup with a skirted table and cloth, warmers, serving gear, disposable plates, cutlery and napkins, and our team returning to collect the equipment after your event.

  • Changes up to 24 hours before

    Adjust your headcount, menu or timing more than 24 hours before your event, subject to availability. Within 24 hours the food and manpower are already committed, so changes and cancellations are normally not accepted and a fee of 50% to 100% of the order may apply.

Additional charges may apply for outlying areas (Tengah, Lim Chu Kang, Tuas, Sentosa, Changi Airport and Alps Avenue), deliveries before 10am or after 7.30pm, and venues without lift access. Every charge is confirmed in your quotation before you pay. See full terms.

What kinds of events is buffet catering good for?

Can I get a halal or vegetarian buffet?

How much does buffet catering cost in Singapore?

Buffet prices depend on your headcount and menu. Large events can go as low as $10 per pax, while smaller groups cost more per pax to cover setup and delivery. Enter your headcount, date and budget at plan.living.menu to see your exact price in 60 seconds.

What is the minimum order for buffet catering?

Buffet catering starts from 10 pax, so it works for small parties as well as large events. Smaller groups have a higher per-pax price than large events.

Do you deliver buffet catering islandwide?

Yes, we deliver buffet catering across Singapore.

How far in advance should I order catering?

The latest we can take an order is one day before your event. We recommend booking earlier than that: popular dates such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Christmas and the year-end party season are taken weeks ahead, and ordering early secures your slot and the dishes you want. For large events, the earlier the better.

Is there a delivery fee?

Delivery is $30 on mini buffet orders below our promotional threshold and free on promotional menus above $225, which in practice means free from 15 pax upwards. Our bento promotional menus include delivery at every tier. Buffet with setup is $90, which covers delivery, setting up the buffet line and collecting the equipment afterwards. Additional charges may apply for outlying areas, deliveries before 10am or after 7.30pm, and venues without lift access. Every charge is confirmed in your quotation.

What is included with the food?

Mini buffet orders are drop and go: the food arrives in insulated warmer bags that are yours to keep, with serving gear, cutlery, plates, bowls, a disposable table cloth and a trash bag, so you can bag everything up and bin it after your event. Bento meals come individually boxed with cutlery. Buffet with setup includes a skirted table and cloth, warmers, serving gear, disposable plates, cutlery and napkins, and our team returns to collect the equipment.

Can I change or cancel my order?

Yes, with more than 24 hours' notice before your event, subject to availability. Within 24 hours the food and manpower are already committed, so changes and cancellations are normally not accepted and a fee of 50% to 100% of the order may apply.
