Delivery ($100 minimum food order) *24 hour notice is required
We will deliver to your home, office, or just about anywhere in Fort Wayne and its surrounding areas. All delivery orders are bulked up and served in sturdy catering tins. We do not deliver individual orders. For individual order delivery, please use Waiter on the Way.
Full Service* (minimum of 50 guests)
Our well-trained team of catering professionals will handle all of the ins-and-outs of service; from set-up and service to tear down and clean up; we’ve got it covered.
We bring chafing dishes, buffet linens, disposable plates and cutlery, moist towelettes and napkins.
Are you looking for a more upscale atmosphere?
We are able to accommodate hosts interested in non-disposable place setting with reasonable rental rates. Please contact us for more details.
(An additional 20% full service fee will be applied to all full service orders).
Off-Site Bar Service*
Liquor, beer, and wine service packages are available through our partnership with Mad Anthony Brewing Company. Once a package is determined we handle all the coordination. A two-week notice is required for licensing purposes. Contact us today for more details.
For Full Service and On-Site Events we require confirmation of final guest count and menu, no later than 2 weeks prior to event date.

GUARANTEE ON NUMBER OF GUESTS
The final invoice will be based off the final guest count, which is due no later than 14 days prior to the date of the event. Once final count has been received it may not be lowered. We will make every effort to accommodate any last-minute increases. If a final guest count is not received, the catering department will use the number of guests indicated in the attached proposal. The price per guest may be increased if the guaranteed guest count falls below 75% of the proposal count.
LEFTOVERS
We believe in guaranteeing that our client will not run out of food assuming that their contracted guest count is similar to their actual turnout. In an effort to maintain this guarantee, there should be some food that has not been consumed at the end of every event. Please do not assume that any or all of this remaining food is automatically yours. This food, if any, is the property of Shigs In Pit BBQ / Mad Anthony Brewing Company, provided that we have fulfilled our obligation to serve the number of guests that you have contracted. If there is a large disparity between the actual turnout of guests and the contracted amount, Shigs In Pit & Mad Anthony Brewing Company at its discretion will package any food that is safe for consumption.

The event location does not have proper and adequate refrigeration
