FaQ"Drop-off" service
Drop-off service means that OCK will bring the food to you. This option works best for more informal events, during which you do not mind doing some work.. All cold or room temperature items will be ready to go on disposable serving trays. Hot items will be in oven proof trays, and you will need to keep them in the oven or chafing dishes and place them on serving trays later. No servers provided. OCK provides only compostable and disposable items for a drop off service. .A delivery (and pick up fee if needed) will apply, which can vary depending on both the location of the event and equipment needed. We do not offer the option of picking up the food, drinks, and service yourself. Rental items such as tables, chairs, linen, glass and silverware, etc.
OCKcan arrange all of your rental needs from the usual party items such as tables, chairs, linens, china, glassware, and silverware, to more elaborate items such as fine china, crystal, and specialty linens. We can also arrange for larger items such as canopies, stages, and dance floors. We use a few local rental companies with a wide variety of items for you to choose from to enhance your event.

OCK provides flexible options for your budget. Our staff can set up all tables and chairs; dress up and clear all table service; clean the service/kitchen area, leaving it as it was found; and break down all equipment at the end leaving it ready for pick up.
