At a glance
Eight things worth sticking on the fridge
The cheapest buffet for 30
S$14.17 a guest, with GST added, at two caterers: ECreative Catering's Classic Signature Buffet and Xiang's Catering's Sumptuous Buffet Spread. Next come Katong Catering and Select Catering at S$16.13. The middle of all 13 is S$19.62.
Bigger groups pay less
Some of the cheapest menus need more guests: $7 a guest at Xiang's Catering needs at least 80. Menus that need 40 or more guests aren't on the 30-guest ladder.
Mini buffets cost more a head
At 3 of the 4 caterers ranked on both ladders, the mini buffet costs more per guest than the full buffet; at Charlie's Catering the two cost the same.
The cheapest mini buffet
S$13.08 a guest for Dfine Catering's halal mini buffet for 20. The middle of all 9 mini buffets is S$19.62.
Mind the GST
4 caterers list the ranked menu before GST only. We added 9% so every figure is what you pay; most others print both figures.
Delivery is extra
Transport usually costs more on top. Four Seasons Catering says it is usually $80 for a buffet and $50 for a mini buffet, depending on location.
One group, many names
Neo Group lists 15 catering brands on its own site, including Neo Garden, Orange Clove, Deli Hub, Chilli Manis, CaterCo, Kryston and Penang Culture. We count it once: its cheapest across the brands, S$21.80 for 30 guests (Chilli Manis) and from S$21.79 for a mini buffet (Best Catering). Neo Garden's cheaper weekday menu isn't served Friday to Sunday, so it isn't ranked.
Most don't say the minimum
17 of the 39 caterers we read publish a buffet price with a stated minimum we could compare. Others give a "from" price with no minimum, so they aren't ranked.
Mini buffet catering price per pax
Each caterer's cheapest mini buffet (delivered, no set-up) for 20 guests or fewer, per guest, with GST, cheapest to dearest.

This page covers the 17 caterers in Singapore that publish a buffet price with its minimum, including Stamford Catering, Select Catering, Neo Group, Elsie's Kitchen, Four Seasons Catering and Katong Catering, out of 39 caterers we read. Every price was read from the caterer's own website on 27 Sep 2026. On the ladders, a solid bar is one published price and a striped bar is a "from" price.
This comparison covers 17 caterers ranked, 47 websites read. Every price comes from the business's own website, read and dated, and the comparison was last verified on 27 Sep 2026. No business pays to be included or to rank.
The ladder at the top lines up every business from cheapest to priciest. Below it are the standout findings, how prices spread out, and the details that matter before you book or buy. We compare prices that are comparable enough, not identical, and “The boring bit” says exactly where we drew the line.
The boring bit
What we compared
Buffet catering delivered to your venue. People mostly search for a buffet for about 30 guests, so the main ladder ranks each caterer's cheapest regular buffet with set-up whose own page says it will serve 30 guests (its stated minimum is 30 or fewer). The second ranks each caterer's cheapest mini buffet (delivered in trays, no set-up) for 20 guests or fewer. Prices are per guest, with GST.
Comparable enough, not identical
- Menus differ in the number of courses, the dishes and the drink. The cheapest menu that meets the guest count is ranked; its name is under the price.
- Where a caterer lists a price before GST only, we added 9%. Where it prints both, we used the figure with GST.
- Where a mini buffet is sold as a set for a stated number of guests, we divided the set price by that number (marked in the table).
- Transport, CBD surcharges and set-up for smaller groups are extra and vary.
- Halal and non-halal caterers are ranked together.
What isn't compared, and why
- Festive, wedding, seminar, tea-reception and live-station menus: different events and prices.
- Bento boxes and single dishes.
- Menus that need more than 30 guests (in the table below the ladder), and "from" prices with no minimum stated.
- Catering marketplaces (FoodLine, CaterSpot): they aren't the caterer's own page.
Where the list comes from
We built the list from catering guides and marketplaces (for names and website links only) and searches: 47 caterer websites read (39 caterers; Neo Group's brands count as one). 17 publish a buffet price with a stated minimum we could compare. We stopped when new searches only returned caterers we had already read.
This is a count of published prices, not a survey of every caterer in Singapore. Every figure here is "among caterers that publish prices". Many caterers quote only on request.
A few caterers' blogs give "typical cost" ranges for the market. Those describe the market, not the caterer's own price, so they aren't used.
Dates and checks
Every price was read from the caterer's own website on 27 Sep 2026, and each figure was matched word for word against our saved copy of the page. Because every page was read the same day, the usual second read of the highest and lowest prices on publishing day was not needed. Caterers were not phoned or messaged: we only use what a caterer puts on its own website.
Prices per caterer: the middle caterer publishes 5 menus it will serve for 30 guests and 3 mini buffets, so the dot plot above has a tab for every fitting menu (85 and 36 dots). Menus that need more guests aren't in them. The game below (69 rounds) mixes question types from the two ladders.
