How Much Does Chafing Dish Hire Cost in Nairobi?
The gold chafing dish (full-size 8 to 10 litre gold-finish pans with a domed lid) is KES 1,700 and the silver chafing dish (full-size 8 to 10 litre stainless-steel pans with a domed lid) is KES 1,746 per day. Both include a water bath and fuel canisters and are delivered clean and set up on your buffet table.
How Many Chafing Dishes Do I Need?
The number depends on how many hot dishes are on your menu, since each dish needs its own pan, and on how many guests will queue at once. Send your menu and guest count and we will calculate the number, and for a buffet pair them with cutlery, plates, rectangular tables and linen.
Gold or Silver: Which Finish Should I Choose?
Choose gold to match gold-themed weddings and warm palettes, and silver for contemporary or corporate buffets. Both are the same full size, so the choice is about the look of your buffet line. Tell us your colour scheme and we will help you choose.
How Do Delivery, Setup and Booking Work?
Our crew delivers, sets up and collects the chafing dishes at your venue, with delivery and collection quoted separately by distance from our Waiyaki Way yard at KES 270/km for the first 30 km and KES 180/km beyond, with return logistics confirmed in your quotation. Book 2 to 4 weeks ahead for weekend events, and 4 to 6 weeks ahead for large orders or peak periods such as December, Easter and August. An 80% deposit secures your date, and the remaining 20% balance is due on delivery, after setup is complete and you have confirmed and accepted all items. We accept M-Pesa, cash, bank transfer and card payments. See the delivery areas on our catering and bar hire page. Send your date, venue and guest count and menu on WhatsApp for a tailored quote.
