Ten people, and the minimum question

At ten people the question is not really price, it is whether a vendor will take the order at all. High tea comes from partnering vendors and each sets its own floor: some are happy at ten, some want twenty, a few want more. We know which are which, so the options we send back are ones that will accept the headcount.

That is why the useful thing to send is the headcount, the date, the delivery address and roughly what you want on the table — not a request for a price list. The quote usually comes back the same working day.

For comparison, a format we do price from a published rate card at this size: a mini buffet at 10 pax is $18 per pax plus $30 delivery, about $210 in total for seven dishes on shared trays. Not the same thing as a high tea, but a real number if you are weighing an afternoon spread against a proper meal.

  • Minimums vary by vendor

What it costs and when to order

Ordering for ten

What is fixed at this size, and what is quoted.

How it is priced
High tea for a small group is quoted per order rather than from a published rate card. The price depends on which partnering vendor makes it and what goes on the table, so we put the quote in front of you before anything is committed.
Getting a price
Send the date, the headcount, the delivery address and roughly what you want on the table. A specialist comes back with options and prices, usually the same working day.
Lead time
One day's notice, subject to vendor availability on your date.
Same-day orders
Not something we promise in advance, but we do try. Message us with the date, the headcount and the address, and a specialist will check what is open and come back either way.
Vendor minimums
Set per vendor, not by us. Some take ten, some start at twenty. Tell us your headcount and only options that will accept it are sent.
What we can price today
A mini buffet — shared trays delivered in insulated warmer bags — is $18 per pax plus $30 delivery at 10–14 pax, $15 with delivery free from 15, $13 from 30 and $10 from 75. Published, and it does not move.
Changing your order
Up to 24 hours before delivery.

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.

  • Mini buffet and bento delivery $30

    Drop and go: 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. Free on promotional menus above $225.

  • 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.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I order high tea catering for 10 pax?

Usually yes, though it depends on the vendor — each sets its own minimum and some start above ten. Send us the date and headcount and we will only come back with options that will take the order.

How much is high tea for 10 people?

It is quoted per order rather than priced from a rate card, and at ten people the vendor's own minimum affects the figure more than the headcount does. For a published comparison, a mini buffet at 10 pax is $18 per pax plus $30 delivery, about $210 in total.

How do I get a price?

Send the date, the headcount, the delivery address and roughly what you want on the table, either through the planner or on WhatsApp. A specialist comes back with vendor options and prices, usually the same working day.

How much notice do you need?

One day, subject to vendor availability on your date. Most catering in Singapore asks for three to five working days. Same-day orders are not something we promise in advance, but we do try to make them happen — message us and a specialist will check what is open.

Can it be halal?

Yes. Halal menus come from Muslim-owned stalls, and halal-certified options are available through our partnering vendors on request. Select halal in the planner and only halal options are shown.

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 free on mini buffet and bento orders of $225 or more before GST. Below that it is $30, and a 10 pax order always carries the fee whatever the order comes to. On the entry-level mini buffet menus $225 is reached at 15 pax. A buffet with setup instead carries a $90 setup fee, charged once per order, which covers delivery, laying out the buffet line and collecting the equipment afterwards. Remote postal codes, deliveries at 9.59am or earlier or 7.31pm or later, and venues without lift access can add a surcharge on top; every one is published and appears in your quotation before you confirm.

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.
