Thomson Catering ✓ ACRA Verified

Thomson Catering uses a per-pax pricing model, though specific rates are not publicly listed — contact the team directly for a quotation based on your guest count and menu selection. As a reference, the Singapore market for event catering typically runs S$15–25/pax for a standard buffet, S$25–40/pax for a premium buffet, S$18–30/pax for mini-buffets (minimum roughly 8–15 pax), S$8–18/pax for bento delivery, and S$30–60/pax for live-station formats. When requesting a quote, confirm what is included in the per-pax rate: delivery and setup, chafing dishes and warmers, a buffet attendant on-site (typically S$80–150 per attendant if charged separately), waste collection, and any applicable GST. Also clarify the minimum headcount and whether a surcharge applies for venues outside the central area. Get the full breakdown in writing before paying any deposit.

No regulatory licences are currently on record for Thomson Catering, which means halal certification status cannot be confirmed from the listing. If your event includes Muslim guests who require certified halal food, ask Thomson Catering directly whether they hold a MUIS certificate — and request to see the certificate number and validity dates. Note that 'halal-friendly' or 'no pork no lard' without MUIS certification is not the same as certified halal. For other dietary requirements — vegetarian (lacto-ovo vs vegan), no-beef for Hindu guests, gluten-free, or nut-free — confirm availability and cross-contamination protocols at the time of enquiry. Most caterers can accommodate a mixed dietary event with advance notice, but the specifics should be agreed in writing before booking. Ask whether a menu tasting is available for orders above a minimum value.

No SFA Food Shop or Catering Licence is currently listed for Thomson Catering. Before booking, ask the company to confirm their SFA licence number and hygiene grade — A is highest, followed by B, C, and D — and verify this on the SFA website if needed. A MUIS halal certificate should also be requested if any guests require certified halal food. For food safety, cooked hot food should be served within a roughly 2–3 hour cooked-to-served window, held above 60°C, with cold items kept below 5°C per SFA guidelines. Confirm the delivery and setup arrival time relative to your event start, the replenishment schedule for a buffet, and the policy on safe handling of leftovers. The absence of publicly listed licences means you should verify this information directly with Thomson Catering before committing. 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.
