Helpful information includes the date, time, venue, and about how many guests you’re expecting. To provide the most accurate quote, it also helps to know what kind of menu you’re considering.
We are always happy to make suggestions based on our experience!
Does Boki’s Kitchen provide the plates, napkins, and cutlery?
Yes! We can provide the plates, napkins, and cutlery!
We refer to this as “table service” and use strong, disposable white plates, durable, clear cutlery, and sturdy, absorbent, cloth-like feeling napkins.
If you prefer something different than what we provide, you’re welcome to supply it! We can decide this as we plan for your event.
Can Boki’s Kitchen provide drinks?

Some venues handle the drinks, and some choose to bring in their own beverages.
We’ll discuss drink options and venue setup to best suit your unique event.

Depending on where your event is held, we usually require 2-4 tables for service, and a kitchen area or prep area with a sink is preferred! This is something we can further discuss upon booking!

Depending on your type of event, it may be best to have serving tables covered for the event to match the theme. We do not supply any table coverings.
Small decorations can be incorporated with the tablescape as discussed prior to event.
Can Boki’s Kitchen provide tables for the event?
No— it’s expected to have tables and/or plenty of counter space available upon arrival of ready-to-eat food. Space needed will be discussed before the event.
