Everything you need to know about booking Grilly Cheese
How much does it cost to hire Grilly Cheese for catering?
Generally, catering ranges between $6 to $32+ per person depending on several factors including guest count, service-style (buffet, food truck window service, drop-off catering, etc.), and menu selections, among other factors. For a catering quote for your event, send over your date, location, and headcount through the quote request form.
What is the minimum guest count?
Most catering is best for groups of about 50 or more. If you are under that, send your details anyway and we will tell you the best option.
How far in advance should I book?
Peak dates book early, so we recommend reaching out as soon as you have a date and location. Last-minute bookings can work if we have availability.
What types of events do you cater?
We cater all types of events including film-set catering, large events, employee appreciation events, bar and bat Mitzvahs, post-reception catering, full-service events of all sizes, brunches, baby showers, office parties, and more. If you have a crowd and a parking spot, we can usually make it work.
How many people can you serve per hour?
We can serve 100+ people per hour depending on menu and staffing. Larger groups are handled by tightening the menu and planning the service window.
What space do you need for the truck?
We typically need a parking space about 30 ft long by 10 ft wide, plus a little room for a line. If your venue has restrictions, send photos and we will confirm what works.
Do you need power?
We are self-contained with an onboard generator for most events. If shore power is available, we can also use it when appropriate.
What is included with catering?
Catering includes the truck, the team, made-to-order service, and standard service supplies. Many packages also include fries and tomato soup on request, plus beverage options depending on the package.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options?
Yes. We can accommodate vegetarian and offer vegan and gluten-free options depending on the menu. Tell us your dietary needs in the quote form so we can plan properly.
Do you provide a certificate of insurance (COI)?
Yes. We can provide a COI for venues that require it. Share the venue name and requirements in advance.
What is your deposit and cancellation policy?
A deposit is typically used to reserve your date, with the remaining balance due closer to the event. Cancellation terms depend on lead time, so request the current policy when you book.
What if it rains?
We can usually operate in light rain, but safety comes first. If weather impacts service, we will coordinate with you on the best backup plan based on your venue.
