What does it mean? Originally it was a term used in Europe to describe cottages, villas, thatched carriage houses, and bungalows. If they possessed a kitchen where one could prepare meals for one’s self it was considered “self catered”.
What does it mean for DeFazio’s and you? We cook. You entertain.
The perfect way to entertain without all the fuss, and you save up to 30%!
Quite simply, DeFazio’s will prepare delicious appetizers, Hors d’oeuvres, party platters, entrees of all types, even desserts – and you serve whenever and wherever you please! It matters not if you need 900 meatballs for the swim team, or 10 short-notice boxed lunches for an office meeting. A beautiful platter of petite sandwiches for a bridal shower or house warming is always appreciated. Baked spaghetti for 20? You will love it. Order a couple of different salads and some sweets, too! Presto! You’re done!
Self Catering is a perfect alternative for flowers. Send food not flowers it means so much more. Let’s not forget a perfectly cooked prime rib for your Saturday night dinner party! DeFazio’s can make it happen, great, easy, and very inexpensive.
Don’t add stress to your entertaining. We’ll make dishes your guests will love, and make you look good, and you can relax and enjoy!
You will automatically save 18% to 20% on service fees and depending on the size your order, other discounts may apply. If you need chafing dishes or platters, we can help. Having a small dinner party at home and want us to display food on your platters? We can do that too, no problem.
