So I am searching for an inexpensive caterer i'm talking like under 12 bucks a plate. The food we are looking for does not have to be fancy, just good homestyle food i'm thinking your typical pulled pork or roasted chicken, I just know this is the kind of food my family would like. Any ideas? Thanks!

We're using Adeline Leigh. They have a full range of options, including a "catering by you" option where they supply the food and some of the rentals, but you take care of setup and the other things that require staff. Their food is delicious!

We haven't signed with them, but we're hoping to use Adeline Leigh as well. They have lots of great menu options, and our budget is $12/plate as well.

They are having their huge tasting this Saturday (January 28). If you call they'll give you details. You can just stop in between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. I think.

We used Brann's. They have a bunch of options including a plated meal, buffet, or homestyle service. They also offer differant options for you table settings and linnens. It was really nice to be able to take care of everything in one place. The food was excelent, The service was good, not great but I also waited tables for over 10 years and spot every error any server makes. H doesnt like going out to dinner because I always point out our servers mistakes to him.

We used Cole's Corner, which is just north of Greenville. Our menu consisted roasted chicken, bbq beef brisket, mashed potatoes w/ chicken and beef gravy and then a steamed mixed veggie. The food was amazing and we both wished we had more to eat. They also included a tossed salad and rolls for dinner and a fruit and cheese platter for when guests first arrived to the reception. I believe it all ended up being right under $12/plate.

Their website: http://www.coles-corner.com/index.html doesn't list their catering menu, but somewhere I have a digital copy of it if you are interested.
