Catering Policies

At Faranda’s, we are dedicated to making your event planning simple and your occasion delicious. Here is what you need to know to get started and what to expect:

Getting Started and Placing Your Order:

To ensure we can properly prepare for your event and deliver the exceptional quality you expect, we require a minimum of eight (8) days notice for all orders. This deadline also applies to final guest counts and confirmed delivery times. We highly encourage you to order early to secure your desired date on our calendar and ensure we will be able to service your event.

When you are ready to order, simply reach out to us! You can discuss your event details and plan an order by calling us at 815-756-2345, by emailing thelincolninn@gmail.com, or submitting a catering request on our website. 

If your event is coming up within seven (7) days, you are welcome to call us and inquire about catering; while we can’t guarantee everything on the menu with short notice, we will do our best to assist you.
