How Much Does Thanksgiving Catering Cost in NYC, Westchester & Greenwich, CT? A Complete 2026 Guide
Every year around early fall, the emails start coming in.
It’s rarely because someone can’t cook Thanksgiving.
More often, it’s because they simply don’t have the time or bandwidth. Between work, family, travel, and everything else that comes with the holidays, planning the menu, grocery shopping, several days of cooking, and all of the cleanup afterward can feel overwhelming—even for a gathering of six people.
Thanksgiving is one meal, but it’s several days of work.
That’s usually when we hear:
“Can you help us with Thanksgiving this year?”
The next question is almost always the same:
How much does Thanksgiving catering cost?
The answer depends on the menu you choose, but here’s how our Thanksgiving catering works and what determines the price.
Thanksgiving Catering Doesn’t Have to Mean Staff in Your Home
When people think about catered events, they often picture chefs cooking in the kitchen, servers passing hors d’oeuvres, and staff moving throughout the house.
Thanksgiving is different.
Unlike a wedding or cocktail party, Thanksgiving is personal. It’s family traditions, old serving platters that only come out once a year, football on television, kids wandering in and out of the kitchen, and everyone sneaking a bite of stuffing before dinner.
In our experience, most families don’t actually want staff in their home on Thanksgiving. They simply want an exceptional meal without spending days planning, shopping, cooking and cleaning.
That’s why our Thanksgiving service is designed as drop-off catering. Your meal arrives fully prepared and ready to heat, allowing you to enjoy the holiday your way while still serving a meal that feels special.
Our Thanksgiving Menu Is Designed as a Complete Holiday Meal
One thing that’s a little different about our Thanksgiving catering is that we don’t build custom menus for the holiday.
Instead, we’ve created thoughtfully designed Thanksgiving menus that make ordering simple and stress-free while still delivering the kind of holiday meal people look forward to all year.
Typically, there are two options:
- The Thanksgiving Side Collection, featuring a generous assortment of holiday sides.
- The Complete Thanksgiving Feast, which includes the full holiday meal, including the turkey.
Every menu is designed to generously serve approximately 8-10 people.
Even if you’re hosting fewer guests, that’s intentional.
Leftover turkey sandwiches the next day, stuffing for breakfast (if you know, you know), and enjoying Thanksgiving all weekend long are part of the tradition. We’d much rather you have plenty than wish you’d ordered more.
What Determines the Cost?
Rather than charging by the person, our Thanksgiving menus are offered at fixed prices based on the menu you choose.
Pricing is influenced by:
- Whether you choose the Thanksgiving Side Collection or the Complete Thanksgiving Feast
- Delivery location
- Any dietary accommodations that can be made
- Specialty requests, when available
Because Thanksgiving is offered as a thoughtfully designed seasonal menu rather than a fully customized catering event, we’re able to keep ordering straightforward while maintaining the quality and consistency we’re known for.
Why We Keep Thanksgiving Simple for You
Thanksgiving is one of the busiest cooking days of the year, so we’ve intentionally designed our holiday service to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.
Our drop-off format allows us to prepare each menu with care, keep ordering simple, and give families the kind of meal that feels abundant, polished, and still completely at home.
Rather than stretching into multiple service styles, we’d rather do one thing exceptionally well.
When Should You Order?
Earlier than most people think.
Thanksgiving happens on one day, which means everyone looking for holiday catering is trying to reserve the same date.
Planning ahead gives you the best chance of securing your preferred menu before availability fills. As Thanksgiving approaches, menus often sell out, so we always recommend reaching out sooner rather than later.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is drop-off catering less expensive than full-service catering?
Generally, yes. Without on-site staffing, drop-off catering is a more streamlined and cost-effective way to enjoy a professionally prepared Thanksgiving meal.
Can the Thanksgiving menu accommodate dietary restrictions?
In many cases, yes. Depending on the request, accommodations may be available for common dietary needs. Let us know when you inquire, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.
Why don’t you offer individual dishes?
We’ve found that a thoughtfully designed holiday menu creates the best overall experience. It keeps ordering simple, allows us to focus on preparing every dish to the highest standard, and ensures everything comes together as a complete Thanksgiving meal.
How much food should I expect?
Every menu is designed to generously serve approximately 8-10 people, with enough for the leftovers that many people secretly look forward to almost as much as Thanksgiving dinner itself. See more answers on FAQ page.
Spend Thanksgiving Around the Table
The food brings everyone together. The memories are made around the table.
We’ll take care of the cooking, so you can focus on the people around your table.
