Buffet & Family Style Menu

Shopping for a caterer doesn't have to be a any different than ordering food from a restaurant. You should be able to see the menu options and pricing estimate before contacting your caterer to see if they will be a good fit for you. At Toast Catering we pride ourselves in being easy to work with, which is why we're one of the only catering companies in San Diego trying to be transparent and showing pricing on our website. Below is some of our Buffet Dinner Service menu options. We can customize a special buffet menu that's just right for your guests, your event and of course, you!

While the exact pricing will depend upon your specific menu, your venue, and number of guests, we can say that at Toast Catering, a typical buffet catered wedding (around 120 people) event will range anywhere from $90 to $110 per person. Plus did we mention we cook the food fresh on site! Which most caterers within our price range don't and will bring the food fully cooked to your event.

The following buffet wedding sample menu features tray-passed hors d'oeuvres (for one hour) followed by choice of one salad, two main entrées and two side dishes. To get pricing and menu ideas for your wedding or event, call, email or contact us today, 619.795.9135
