TL;DR / Summary: National Day office catering in Singapore doesn't have to blow the budget — but pricing does vary depending on menu style and headcount. This guide breaks down real pricing for Shiok Kitchen Catering's National Day Buffet and mini buffet options, to help office managers budget accurately.
Why Catering Budgets Deserve a Proper Breakdown
Office managers planning National Day catering usually work with a fixed team budget and a headcount that can shift right up until the last moment. Getting the pricing structure clear upfront — per-pax versus fixed-price packages — makes it far easier to plan accurately, rather than guessing and hoping the final number lands close to budget.
Shiok Kitchen Catering offers a few different pricing structures depending on the format you choose: a per-pax National Day Buffet suited to larger office celebrations, and fixed-price mini buffets suited to smaller teams or department-level celebrations.
National Day Buffet: Per-Pax Pricing for Larger Teams
National Day Buffet
Priced at $28.00 SGD per pax (minimum 30 pax), the National Day Buffet includes two appetisers, five main dishes, two desserts, and a choice of beverage — a full spread that scales cleanly with your headcount. This per-pax structure makes it straightforward to budget for larger office celebrations, since your total cost is simply the number of attendees multiplied by $28.00.

Mini Buffets: Fixed-Price Packages for Smaller Teams
For smaller departments or teams celebrating separately, a fixed-price mini buffet can offer better value than a per-pax order, particularly for headcounts under 15.
Classic Mini Buffet – Singaporean Delights (15pax)
At a fixed price of $400.00 SGD for 15 pax, this local-flavoured mini buffet works out to roughly $26.67 per pax at full capacity, making it a competitive option for smaller National Day gatherings that still want a distinctly Singaporean menu.
Signature Mini Buffet – Asian Delights (15pax)
At $500.00 SGD for 15 pax, this step-up mini buffet suits teams who want a broader Asian menu selection alongside their National Day celebration, at a modest premium over the classic tier.
How to Budget for National Day Office Catering
Step 1: Confirm your exact headcount before comparing pricing structures. Per-pax pricing suits larger, more flexible headcounts, while fixed-price mini buffets suit smaller, confirmed group sizes.
Step 2: Calculate the per-pax equivalent for fixed packages. A $400 mini buffet for 15 pax works out to roughly $26.67 per head — useful for comparing directly against the $28.00 per pax National Day Buffet.
Step 3: Factor in beverages. The National Day Buffet includes a choice of beverage as part of its per-pax price — confirm what's included in any package you're comparing to avoid unexpected add-on costs.
Step 4: Book early to protect your budget and your date. Pricing and availability are subject to change, and delivery slots are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis — locking in your order early protects both your budget and your preferred delivery time.
Step 5: Check for delivery-related costs. Confirm with our sales team whether delivery charges apply to your office address, particularly if it falls outside standard delivery zones.
