Food and beverage prices in the Tufts Catering menu do not include china, linen, stainless steel flatware, or other food service equipment, unless specifically noted. While we offer all of these options, they are not part of the food cost and are priced separately from our food service.
We will bill you for the cost of renting or purchasing any such equipment or accessories if required for your event, plus any applicable vendor delivery charges. Pricing ranges from $4.50 to $20 per person per event. We charge for missing or damaged equipment and accessories at their replacement cost plus a 10% handling fee.
