From office parties and company picnics to conferences, anniversaries, seasonal celebrations and conventions, Sheffield caterers provide outstanding hospitality for events of every size and style.

When you want to create a truly memorable experience — whether it’s a team meeting or a special occasion — the right caterer can elevate your event from good to unforgettable. Below, we explore the key factors that influence the cost of hiring a Phillips caterer.

How much do caterers cost?

Event caterers in Sheffield typically charge per guest rather than per hour. Additional fees may apply for equipment hire, staffing or specialist items, but these costs are usually fixed and not affected by the duration of the event.

Average catering cost per person

Catering prices are usually quoted on a per-person basis, so confirming your guest numbers is the first step. Costs vary depending on the style of service you choose. For example, a buffet or family-style meal may start from around £25 per person, while a formal plated dinner can rise to £120 or more per person. For an event with 50 guests, total catering costs might range from £1,250 to £6,000+, depending on your selections.

Types of catering service

When planning your corporate event, consider which catering style best suits your occasion:

Formal sit-down dinners
Plated dinners offer a refined, restaurant-style experience, complete with dressed tables, linens, cutlery and multi-course meals served by professional waiting staff. Pricing varies based on menu choice, number of courses, guest count and tableware selections.

Food stations
Ideal for large or informal events such as company away days or summer parties, food stations offer flexibility and variety. Options might include street-food-inspired stations, sliders, carving stations or shared grazing tables.

Buffets
Buffet catering includes staff to set up, manage, replenish and clear the service area. Prices depend on menu ingredients, guest numbers and any bespoke requests. Premium or fully customised menus, such as organic or specialist dietary options, may increase the overall cost.

Our team will help plan your menu, organise any required rentals and ensure high-quality food is delivered — or served on-site — with care and professionalism.
