buffet catering setup in San Diego by Toast Catering

Buffet & Family-Style Catering in San Diego

Our buffet and family-style catering is designed for events that want the warmth of a shared meal with the quality and presentation of a true dining experience. Menus are built around fresh, chef-driven food cooked on site. And Toast delivers the kind of meal your guests will actually talk about after the night is over.

A typical dinner includes tray-passed hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour, a salad, choice of two entrées and two sides. For guests with dietary restrictions, our team prepares a dedicated plate served directly to their seat, so you don't have to redesign your entire menu for a handful of guests.

Pricing is straightforward and inclusive. Buffet-style service for around 120 guests typically ranges from $110–$130 per person, with family-style adding approximately $7 per person. All pricing includes staff, rentals, china, and flatware.
