Hot and cold pasta trays serve 6–8. Individual hot pasta meals come with 2 breadsticks, and every pasta pairs with breadsticks or Cheeseybread.

Full-Service Catering

Want us to run the whole show? Full service adds setup, cleaning tables, bartending, and breakdown of the event. Staff run $35–$50 an hour (3–6 employees, 5-hour minimum each, depending on venue). Beverage coolers rent at $250 a cooler with ice; trash cans at $10 a can plus $10 a bag (minimum $100 for trash removal). You provide the alcohol — Chubby's doesn't hold an ABC license, so clients file for a specialty banquet license through the ABC.
