FAQ
1. What menu themes are popular for retirement parties?
Since retirement parties are often social and celebratory, "Turkish Feast" themes are very popular. This typically includes Mix & Share Platters (Mixed Kebab varieties) which allow guests to sample different flavors, and extensive Mezze Spreads (Hummus, Babagannuş, Ezme) that encourage conversation and mingling.
2. Do you provide elegant catering setups for formal events?
Yes.If you choose "Full-Service Catering," they can provide an elegant presentation suitable for formal retirement dinners. This includes professional chafing dishes, serving platters, and staff service. Alternatively, their Private Dining Rooms in the restaurant offer a ready-made elegant atmosphere with soft lighting and decor.
3. Can Mama Fatma create personalized menus for retirees?
Yes.The catering service includes a consultation phase where you can design a menu that reflects the retiree's favorites. For example, if they love vegetarian dishes, the menu can be customized to focus on those preferences rather than the standard grill mix.
4. Is dessert or cake service included in retirement catering?
Desserts: Yes, traditional desserts like Baklava and Künefeare a highlight of their menu.
Cake:While they offer individual desserts, for a large ceremonial "Retirement Cake," you would generally need to order a custom cake separately or discuss if they can arrange a "Custom Cake" service during your consultation.
5. Do you offer cocktail hour or drinks catering?
Important: Mama Fatma is a Non-Alcoholic (Halal) establishment. Instead of a traditional alcoholic cocktail hour, they can provide a "Mocktail & Tea Reception":
Drinks: Fresh fruit juices, Sherbets, Ayran, and premium Turkish Tea/Coffee.
Concept: This creates a sophisticated, cultural "welcome hour" without alcohol.
6. Can you cater at corporate venues or community centers?
Yes. They cater to all types of venues across the GTA, including office conference rooms, community halls, and private residences. They have the logistics to transport hot food to these locations
7. Are there light bite or snack packages available?
Yes.For a "Farewell Mixer" style event (standing reception), you can order an array of Cold and Hot Appetizers instead of a heavy main meal.
Suggested Menu:Sigara Böreği (Cheese Rolls), Lahmacun (cut into small pieces), Hummus cups, and Stuffed Vine Leaves.
8. Do you include staff for serving and post-event cleanup?
Yes, with Full-Service Catering. If you book the full package, their professional staff will handle the buffet setup, food service, and the cleanup of their station/equipment afterwards.
9. How early should we schedule a retirement catering event?
For a smooth experience, especially if you require staff and a customized menu, it is recommended to book 2-4 weeks in advance. For smaller "drop-off" orders to an office, a few days' notice may suffice, but earlier is always better.
