Raffles Catering Singapore ✓ ACRA Verified

Per-pax pricing depends on the menu tier and format. Singapore market norms for event caterers: standard buffets run S$15–25/pax, premium buffets S$25–40/pax, mini-buffets for small groups S$18–30/pax (minimum typically 8–15 pax), bento delivery S$8–18/pax, and live-station spreads S$30–60/pax. Contact Raffles Catering Singapore directly for their current menu pricing, as $$-tier caterers at this address typically sit in the mid-to-premium buffet band. Itemise the full cost before signing: minimum headcount, delivery and setup fee for the venue, equipment rental (chafing dishes and warmers — sometimes included, sometimes billed separately), buffet attendant on-site (typically S$80–150 per attendant), waste collection, and GST.

Confirm halal certification before booking — a MUIS-issued certificate with a valid licence number and expiry date is the standard. 'Halal-friendly' or 'no pork no lard' without MUIS certification is not the same as certified halal and will not meet the requirement for guests who observe strict halal. Ask Raffles Catering Singapore directly whether their kitchen holds MUIS certification, and request a copy of the certificate. Also confirm vegetarian options (lacto-ovo vs vegan), no-beef dishes for Hindu guests, gluten-free, and nut-free selections. For mixed-dietary events, ask about cross-contamination protocols — separate serving utensils, labelling, and preparation practices. Most caterers at this tier offer a menu tasting session for bookings above a minimum order value, which is the best opportunity to confirm portion quality and dietary accuracy before committing.

Legitimate caterers hold an SFA Food Shop or Catering Licence with a hygiene grade — A is highest, followed by B, C, and D. No regulatory licence is currently listed in Raffles Catering Singapore's KakiList profile, so you should request the SFA licence number and hygiene grade directly, and verify it on the SFA Food Establishment Listing if needed. Halal-certified caterers hold a separate MUIS certificate. For food safety at the event, cooked hot dishes should be served within a 2–3 hour cooked-to-served window, with hot-hold above 60°C and cold items held below 5°C per SFA guidelines. Confirm the setup arrival time relative to your event start, the buffet replenishment protocol for longer events, and the policy for safe handling of leftovers. Confirm the SFA Food Shop or Catering Licence (and MUIS halal certificate where required), book a tasting before paying the deposit, and put the per-pax rate, minimum headcount, dietary mix, delivery and setup window, and balance schedule in writing.
