A useful catering quote specifies the menu, portions, staffing and transport. The examples below show how a per-plate assumption changes the total; they are not a survey of Lekki prices.
A sample catering calculation
For illustration, this table uses ₦15,000–₦40,000 per plate. These figures are unverified assumptions. Confirm the menu, portions, staff, equipment and transport with a supplier before relying on a price.
| Guests | Per-plate band | Rough catering total |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | ₦15k – ₦40k | ₦1.5m – ₦4m |
| 200 | ₦15k – ₦40k | ₦3m – ₦8m |
| 500 | ₦15k – ₦40k | ₦7.5m – ₦20m |

What a proper Lekki quote includes
The per-plate figure is not the whole story. Before you compare two caterers, make sure both quotes cover the same things:
- The full menu — starters, mains, sides, and any grills or live stations spelled out.
- Small chops & drinks — often quoted separately; ask for the combined figure.
- Service staff — waiters, servers, and supervision for your guest count.
- Serving equipment — chafing dishes, plates, cutlery, glassware.
- Logistics to your venue — transport and setup on the peninsula; confirm it's included, not "extra on the day."
If a quote leaves any of these vague, that's where the surprise bills come from. Always ask for the all-in per-plate price.
What to check before you book
- A recent tasting or verified reviews. Taste the food or see honest, recent feedback — not just a pretty gallery.
- Capacity for your size. A caterer smooth at 100 plates isn't automatically ready for 400. Ask what they've handled.
- A written quote and payment schedule. FÊTEEKO client deposits are 80–90%; confirm the exact percentage in your proposal.
- Power and setup plan for the venue. Some Lekki venues need generators; confirm who provides what.
