Have you been looking for local restaurants for catering options for your local event in the Pyeongtaek area? Then, here are the spots that international residents often recommend in the Pyeongtaek Food & Fun group.
Where is Pyeongtaek?
Pyeongtaek-si is located in the southern portion of the Gyeonggi-do province. This large city includes both US military installations, Camp Humphreys and Osan Air Base.
To clarify, the catering recommendations provided exist within the city of Pyeongtaek. Since this encompasses both military installations, we recommend contacting the restaurant to determine if they will cater to your function (based on distance). However, there are some restaurants in this list that have locations in both areas.
In this blog post, South of Seoul provides addresses and phone numbers for the catering options available in Pyeongtaek. However, we recommend using this information in either Naver Maps or Kakao Maps for the best results. As a result, such apps help you figure out how far each restaurant might be from you.
What to Know Before Contacting Catering Options
When looking for catering options, we do recommend contacting restaurants well in advance of your event or function, so that you can find the best options for you. In addition, you may want to have the following information on hand prior to contacting catering businesses:
- Date and time of the event
- What is your budget?
- Where is the event? (Are you needing a venue and food at the same place)
- What type of food do you want for the event?
- Are there any dietary restrictions?
- How many guests?
- Will you need the food delivered and set up off-site by the caterer?
- Will you be picking up the food and setting up?
- Do you need additional items like plates, utensils, tables, or chairs?
- How will the food be served? Will servers need to be provided?
Also, you should keep in mind that sometimes the catering menu differs from the restaurant’s daily menu. Without a doubt, there are many restaurants that will available to meet your catering options in Pyeongtaek.
Cultural Notes
When coordinating catering options the following issues often arise:
- Communication issues: Even when we work with English-speaking businesses, we find that communication often takes more work than we originally planned.
- Scheduling issues: Make sure to explicitly clarify setup and takedown expectations. While some restaurants may understand “starts at 8” as the time to show up and begin setting up, you will need to be VERY clear about each step of your schedule.
- Never assume anything: Never, at any point, assume something is included or something will be done. Although many businesses have worked with western clients, each client also has its own expectations. In addition, you can’t assume they worked with clients who have the same expectations as you.
Generally speaking, you will always be happier with over clarification. While it may be a challenge when coordinating your catered event in a foreign country, hopefully with the above notes, it will make planning with your catering options in Pyeongtaek easier.

Volunteer with South of Seoul
Interested in working with a fun team of talented volunteers? The South of Seoul volunteer team is always looking for other like-minded folks to research information, compile blogs, and edit content.
The KimchiRednecks channel was created in September 2018 by Chuck Whittington and Melissa Edwards-Whittington. They moved to Korea in July 2017 with their three Shih Tzu daughters, Sookie, Minion, and Mayhem.
The YouTube channel started as a way to share their lives here with their friends and families back in the states. They both have a deep love for Korean culture, people, and food and love being able to share that with others.
Chuck Whittington graduated from Francis Marion University with a Bachelors in Information Systems Management. He has worked in Information Technology roles for over 20 years. Chuck has always had an interest in Korea and has traveled here many times in the past.
Melissa Edwards-Whittington graduated from Mid-Atlantic Christian University with a Bachelors in Bible and a Minor in Elementary Education. She has worked in various roles in customer service and marketing over the years.
The YouTube channel has many interests just like they do because it is an extension of their lives here in Korea. You will often find videos on their channel about daily life in Korea, cooking, foodie adventures, traveling and exploring, computer and tech pursuits, gaming, and working on the Subaru BRZ.
Over the years, many of their friends have joined them for their videos and adventures because they enjoy sharing their lives with those around them. In addition, they add new interests from time to time, like making moonshine in Korea.
Life is about growing and changing, and the longer the KimchiRednecks live in Korea, the more they learn to love this country and culture and all it has to offer.
