BUFFET CATERING

Buffet catering in Sheffield

Buffets delivered across Sheffield and Rotherham from £5.50 a head. Nine of them, numbered and priced, ordered online by 4pm for the next working day.

Delivered in insulated cool boxes and made to order, which is why thirty miles makes no difference to a cold buffet and a great deal of difference to a hog roast.

Buffets for Sheffield offices

Sheffield offices mostly want the everyday working catering: nine buffets from £5.50 to £11.00 a head, breakfasts and grazing boards, made to order and delivered in insulated boxes so they arrive exactly as they left.

The Tuesday team meeting, the training day, the client visit, the standing weekly order that arrives without anybody having to remember it. Sandwiches with eight fillings, sausage rolls, pork pies, quiche, hand cooked crisps, fresh fruit and homemade cake, depending which of the nine you pick.

Most of our Sheffield volume goes east: Sheffield Business Park, Hawke Street, the Meadowhall and Eastwood estates. The city centre and Kelham Island are the other pattern: professional services ordering smaller and more often, and far more likely to want a standing order than a one-off.

Breakfast, hot food and receptions

Breakfast is from £3.35 a head for pastries and delivered between 8am and 9am, which suits a training day that starts before people have eaten. Rolls with sausage or bacon are £4.75.

Hot buffets are £23.50 a head with a fifty-person minimum: four menus, three mains and three sides picked across any of them. Grazing boards at £97.00 a crate serving ten work well for a launch or a client reception where sandwiches would undersell the occasion.

Where we deliver around Sheffield

The city centre and Kelham Island, along Ecclesall Road, up through Crookes and Broomhill, across to Hillsborough, east into Attercliffe, Darnall, Handsworth and Meadowhall, north to Chapeltown, and over into Rotherham. Delivery is free on orders over £20.

Offices, business parks, both universities and the hospitals. Tell us the building and the floor, and a name for reception where the building needs one.

What Sheffield customers say

4.9 out of 5 from 210+ Google reviews

  • Thank you Sadlergates Catering for providing excellent BBQ food for our wedding. We really enjoyed the food, and so did our guests. Thanks to all the whole team who were involved - both with the helpful discussions in advance and great service on the day.

    Fiona · Wedding BBQ

  • Sadlergates did a ‘in the middle’ buffet for our wedding - and they were great :) We really appreciated their customer service in the lead up to the wedding - and as others have said, nothing was too much trouble when it came to accommodating requests. On the day, the food was lovely with generous portions - enjoyed by all our guests!

    Ruth · Wedding, In The Middle buffet

Buffet catering in Sheffield, your questions answered

Will a buffet still be fresh by the time it reaches Sheffield?

Yes. It is made to order and travels in insulated cool boxes, so it arrives as it left, sandwiches still soft, salads still cold. For anything cooked on the day, we bring the kitchen to you instead: hog roasts from £795 and barbecues from £13.00 a head are cooked on site in Sheffield.

Do you deliver to Rotherham?

Yes, and free. Rotherham sits on the same round as the eastern side of Sheffield and we have delivered there for years.

How much is a buffet in Sheffield?

From £5.50 a head for Buffet 1 up to £11.00 for Buffet 9, with nine in total. The full contents of each are on the sandwich buffet menu. Delivery is free, there is a £20 minimum on the order and prices exclude VAT.

How much notice do you need?

Order by 4pm and we deliver the next working day. A Monday delivery closes at 4pm on the Friday. Hot buffets and anything cooked on site need longer.

Is there a minimum order?

£20 on the order value for a delivered buffet, which is four people on Buffet 1. Hot buffets have a fifty-person minimum. Events cooked on site are quoted individually.

Can I set up a regular weekly order?

Yes. Same buffet, same day, same slot, set up once. A credit account puts it all on one monthly invoice.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Every buffet is 30% vegetarian as standard. Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal portions are prepared separately and labelled. Tell us how many of each when you order.

Do you take the platters away afterwards?

Yes. Our driver collects the cool boxes and empty platters the next working day, so there is nothing to wash and nothing to return.
