About

Home cooking, scaled up.

Vera's Catering Services cooks the food Ghanaian families gather around, in quantities that feed a hall. Jollof with the smoke on it, waakye the proper way, stews that have simmered as long as they should.

Questions people ask.

How far ahead should I order?

As early as you can, especially for weekends and holidays. Send the date in your request and we will confirm availability straight away.

How many people does a pan feed?

Roughly, a full pan of rice feeds 25 to 30 guests as part of a spread and a half pan about half that. Vera will size the order once she knows the headcount and the number of dishes.

Do you have vegetarian options?

Yes. Jollof, fried rice, waakye, yellow rice, veggies, fried plantain, Ghana salad, spring rolls and fruit salad can all anchor a vegetarian table. Mention it in your request.

Some dishes say "ask" instead of a price. Why?

Kebab, tilapia, doughnuts, dinner rolls and fruit salad are priced by quantity and season. Add them to your request and the quote will include them.

Can I change my order after I send it?

Yes, until Vera confirms the final quote. Reply to the confirmation or call 240-461-0934.
