You can truly sit back and relax as these experienced party planners and chefs settle it all— canapes, main courses, dessert, beverages, and for some, even decor!
From local cuisine to Western delights, here are 12 best buffet caterers in Singapore that’ll cater to any budget, occasion or cuisine.
1. Neo Garden
Neo Garden, which was founded in 1992, is one of the veterans of the local catering industry. As the largest events caterer in Singapore, Neo Garden possesses great expertise when it comes to providing customers with the utmost best catering experience.

Regardless of whether you’re throwing a baby shower, birthday party, pioneer generation celebration or a corporate event, you can rest assured that Neo Garden and its 30 years of catering experience will ensure that your event goes smoothly.
For events with 30 guests or more, opt for the Classic Buffet, which starts from S$15.99++ per pax. Each buffet set allows for you to mix and match your preferred dishes, ensuring that your menu will be tailored to your preferences. If you’re hosting a smaller group, go for the Mini Buffet, which starts at S$9.50++ per pax and feeds a minimum of 10 pax.
If you can’t decide on which dishes to try, you should go for crowd favourites such as the Honey Chicken and Sin Chow Mee Hoon. The Sin Chow Mee Hoon was comforting and tasty, and paired perfectly with the rich, aromatic Curry Chicken. I especially appreciated how generous Neo Garden was with the chicken portions.
The Crispy Long Spring Rolls were a classic and tasty treat that we loved munching on. They even came with a side of sweet & spicy sauce, which further amplified the flavours of the crunchy rolls.
