Not every event needs to feed a hundred people. In fact, some of the most memorable gatherings are the ones that happen in a meeting room, at home, or with a small, tight-knit team. But just because you’re planning something on a smaller scale doesn’t mean you should settle for store-bought trays or potluck panic.
At CaterCo, we’ve designed our services to scale both big and small. Whether you're hosting 10 people or 20, our Drop-Off Catering, Bento Boxes, and Personal Feast Sets offer full-bodied flavour without the big production. These aren’t afterthought meals—they’re curated, crafted, and perfect for moments that matter.
Why Small Events Still Deserve Big Taste
👥 Smaller guest list? Bigger opportunity to impress.
From leadership lunches to family blessings, team wins, and farewell parties, small-scale events often carry deep meaning. The right meal sets the tone—intimate, thoughtful, and generously portioned.
CaterCo provides meals that respect the scale without compromising on the experience. We deliver warm, halal-certified food that feels just as polished as a full buffet spread—just right-sized for your space and guest count.

What Works Best for Small Groups?
Here are our top catering picks when you're feeding between 8 and 25 guests:
- Bento Catering: Each box contains a perfectly portioned main, side, vegetable, and dessert—ideal for clean, easy lunches at work or at home.
- Drop-Off Catering: Curated trays of main dishes, sides, and carbs. Great for casual feasts and shared meals without full buffet setups.
- Personal Feasts: Premium boxed meals that feel like a restaurant course. Popular for small gifting gestures, stakeholder meetings, or pampering your team.
Need to include vegetarians, no-spice eaters, or guests with special diets? No problem. We tailor each order based on your guests and preferences.

These are the kinds of events where personal touches shine—and the food shouldn’t fall short.
FAQs for Small-Scale Catering
Is there a minimum order size?
Most options start from 8 to 10 pax, depending on the menu format. For bento meals, even smaller quantities can be arranged.
Can I mix formats in one order?
Yes. You can combine bento boxes for some guests and drop-off trays for others, depending on what’s easiest for you.
Do you help with setup?
Drop-off and bentos are designed to be self-serve, but if you’d like styling, we can recommend a Thematic Setup for small spaces too.
Do these meals come with drinks or desserts?
Absolutely. Most bento and feast sets include desserts, and you can add drinks, fruit cups, or even mini treats to round out the experience.
