Helpful Tips

We cater to any size party – large or small. You may have the food delivered or pick it up at our restaurant.

A travel charge to out of town events may apply.

Tables and Linens
Please provide tables or counter space for food and beverages. White linen table covers are provided at no charge for the beverage and food tables. Linens for all other tables (guest tables etc.) may be provided at $4.00 per cloth, it would be your responsibility to pick the linens up 1 to 5 days prior to your event and cover those tables. Linen napkins may be provided at $.35 per napkin unfolded and $.50 per napkin folded. White skirting is also available for the food and beverage tables at no charge.

Paper ware and China
All paper products are included at no extra charge for buffets. The charge for china and silverware ranges from $1.50 to $3.00 per person, which covers breakage, cleaning and rental. A full setting ($3.00) includes dinner, salad and dessert plates, silverware, water glass, coffee cup and saucer. A partial setting ($1.50) includes a dinner plate, fork and knife; we would then provide paper products for the dessert plates, dessert forks and coffee cups. China cost/availability is subject to change depending on your event location.

• A confirmed count is requested 7 to 8 days prior to the event. Pricing is based on number of people; if your count should fall, the price would be adjusted accordingly. All caterings must be paid in full by the day of the event unless approved by a manager.

• Regarding Leftovers: Our leftover policy is based on the amount of people served. For example; if your count is 200 and we serve 200, we will choose what to do with the leftovers. If we only serve 175, you will receive the food for the 25. Canadian Honker is proud to donate leftovers you do not want to Community Food Response.

• We will notify you as to when we will arrive so you can arrange to let us in on time. You may give us a key for certain hall locations.

• A host and hostess are required for large events to regulate the buffet line. The host and hostess may excuse people from the tables to avoid having your guests wait in long lines. It is also important to be within 15 minutes of your eating time to ensure the best quality of the food. For weddings please allow time if you are going to take pictures or have a limousine ride, etc.

• For paper product buffets, we will clean up around the buffet tables and the kitchen, as well as walk around and remove dinner plates from the guest tables. For china, the same policy applies, except we will clear all dirty china from the guest tables.
