FAQ
1. Do you offer picnic-friendly catering packages with easy serving?
Yes. For picnics, we highly recommend our Pide (Turkish Pizza) and Lahmacun trays. These items come sliced and are perfect for "grab-and-go" eating without the need for knives and forks. Additionally, our Mezze Trays (Hummus, Haydari, Stuffed Vine Leaves) serve as excellent dip stations that are easy to manage outdoors.
2. Are Mama Fatma’s Mediterranean meals suitable for outdoor picnics?
Absolutely. Mediterranean cuisine is naturally suited for outdoor dining. Our cold appetizers (Mezzes) taste delicious at ambient temperatures, and our charcoal-grilled meats (like Meatballs/Köfteand Chicken Wings) retain their flavor well, making them perfect for a summer spread in the park.
3. Do you provide picnic boxes or grazing-style platters?
We specialize in Grazing-Style Catering Trays. Instead of individual boxed lunches, we provide large, shareable platters of meats, rice, and appetizers that allow your group to build their own plates. Our Mix Appetizer Platter is essentially a ready-made grazing board featuring a variety of dips and veggie-based starters.
4. Can you deliver to parks or public outdoor locations?
Yes. We deliver across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and can bring the food directly to your designated park, beach, or outdoor venue. Note: We require a specific meeting point (e.g., parking lot or main entrance) for hand-off at large public parks.
5. Do you provide disposable or eco-friendly utensils and plates?
Yes. Upon request, we can include disposable cutlery, plates, and napkins with your catering order, ensuring you have everything you need for a hassle-free picnic setup.
6. Is cold or hot food more appropriate for picnic catering?
We recommend a mix of both.
Cold: Our Mezzes (Eggplant Salad, Hummus, Kisir) are the most practical choice as they hold up well outdoors.
Hot: Pide and Lahmacun are excellent hot options that are still tasty as they cool down.
BBQ: For the ultimate hot food experience, you can hire our On-Site BBQ Service to grill fresh meat right at your picnic spot.
7. Can you include drinks and dessert options in picnic menus?
Yes.
Drinks:We offer refreshing options perfect for hot days, including Ayran (Cold Yogurt Drink), Şalgam (Turnip Juice), and assorted sodas.
Desserts: Baklava is the ideal picnic dessert—it is sweet, satisfying, and easy to eat with your fingers, requiring no refrigeration for short periods.
8. What’s the best lead time to book picnic catering in spring/summer?
Spring and summer are our busiest seasons for outdoor events.
Standard Delivery: Please book 1 week in advance.
On-Site BBQ Service: We recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance to secure our staff and equipment for your date.
9. Do you help with park permit coordination or setup?
Mama Fatma provides the catering, equipment, and necessary insurance documentation. However, obtaining the Park Permit(for gathering size or BBQ usage) is the responsibility of the clientwith the local municipality. We are happy to provide any health/business certificates the city requires from us to approve your permit.
