Q: Why should I choose Hat Creek instead of another caterer?
We do much more than just show up with food. Our fun music, games, photos and more provide you and your guests an experience they will remember. Don’t risk being embarrassed by another caterer that shows up late, runs out of food, or doesn’t have professional credentials. We make you look like a HERO!
Q: Why aren’t you the cheapest?
We understand that there is a lot more to having a great event than just showing up and cooking. Our customers choose us because they don’t want to risk being embarrassed by a less-expensive caterer that doesn’t perform to their standards. By going with Hat Creek you aren’t taking a risk. If you don’t want to take a chance of having a bad experience then choose Hat Creek to cater your event.
Q: What makes Hat Creek’s crawfish taste so much better than everyone else’s?
We use a unique blend of seasonings and a recipe that comes directly from Louisiana. In addition to that, we take the extra measures to ensure that our crawfish soak up and retain all of the flavor during our cooking process. We make sure all that good flavor is soaked in. You’ll know the difference the minute you taste our bugs.
Q: When are crawfish in season?
Crawfish season usually starts in late February and lasts through early July.
Q: How do I know how much crawfish will be needed for my event?
As a rule of thumb, each of your guests will eat about 3.5 pounds of our delicious boiled crawfish. You can safely bet on 3.5 pounds per guest and if you’re feeding a big hungry Cajun crowd you’ll probably want about 5-7 pounds per guest.
Q: Do you provide tent, table, and chair rentals?
No. If you need tables, chairs, or a tent we can provide you with the name and phone number of one of our party partners.
Q: I don’t have a final head count. Should I contact you anyway?
Yes. If you have a definite date in mind and a general idea of your headcount let us know. We can get your date locked in and you can adjust your headcount up to a week in advance.
Q: I want Hat Creek to cater my event! How do I confirm my date?
Go to the Contact Us page and submit the details of your event and we’ll send you over a custom quote for your event, usually the same business day. Once your 50% deposit is submitted we will lock in your event date.
Q: What type of payments do you accept?
We accept Cash, Checks, American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover
