What it costs
What a coastal seafood grill costs, and what the rate already covers
This counter starts at about ₹700 per plate. What moves the number is the dish selection, the guest count and how long the counter stays open — a counter running for ninety minutes and one running all evening are not the same booking. The per-plate rate is not the food alone: it already carries the chefs at this counter, the stewards, the equipment and the clearance afterwards.
Included in the per-plate rate
- Chefs and counter cooks for every station
- Uniformed stewards and an on-site supervisor
- Chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery
- Venue recce and counter layout plan before the date
- Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover
Quoted separately
- GST on the invoice
- Travel and logistics beyond Pune-Pimpri-Chinchwad or Lonavala
- Premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce
- Generator or power backup where the venue cannot supply it
- Extra service hours beyond the agreed window
How many you need
How many counters your guest count actually needs
One live counter per 75 guests is the planning figure we quote across every event. For this one specifically: roughly 75-100 guests per hour per counter.
Grill area is the ceiling, not chef count. A whole pomfret occupies the grill far longer than a tray of prawns, so the menu mix decides whether one grill is enough before the guest count does.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
Read the counters column as counters of every kind, not three of this one. At 250 guests a spread of three to four stations is normal, of which this counter is usually one — two only where it is carrying the meal rather than joining it.

Placement and timing
Where this counter stands, and when we open it
Opens with the starters and runs through the mains. Grilled fish is served off the flame — held in a chafing dish it is a different, worse dish within twenty minutes.
We set this counter up across Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar-Kharadi, Lonavala to Khandala and Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse, lawn and resort venues where the power and the cover have to travel with us.
Where it fits
Events this coastal seafood grill suits
Not every counter belongs at every function. These are the three it is booked for most, and why.
Wedding
A Konkani, Malvani or East Indian wedding expects fish off the coal, not fish out of a chafing dish.
Sundowner
Grilled prawns and sol kadhi with the light going is the whole idea of a Pune sundowner.
House Party
A small grill and a crate of surmai is what a Koregaon Park or Baner house party does at home anyway, done properly.
Questions about the coastal seafood grill
What does a coastal seafood grill cost in Pune?
It starts at about ₹700 per plate and moves with the dish selection, guest count and how long the counter runs. That rate already carries the chefs, the stewards, the counter equipment and the clearance afterwards. Call +91 96731 98867 for a written quote the same day.
How many guests does one coastal seafood grill serve?
Roughly 75-100 guests per hour per counter. Grill area is the ceiling, not chef count. A whole pomfret occupies the grill far longer than a tray of prawns, so the menu mix decides whether one grill is enough before the guest count does.
What does the coastal seafood grill need at the venue?
Outdoor placement for the charcoal grill. Power and fuel: charcoal grill, with chilled holding kept at the counter until cooking.
When during the event does the coastal seafood grill open?
Opens with the starters and runs through the mains. Grilled fish is served off the flame — held in a chafing dish it is a different, worse dish within twenty minutes.
Can we book the coastal seafood grill on its own?
Yes — counter-wise booking is standard with us. Add it to a buffet, combine it with two or three other counters, or run it alone at a smaller function.
Is there a vegetarian, Jain or vegan version of the coastal seafood grill?
This counter is not vegetarian and we do not dress it up as one. Guests who do not eat fish are served from a separate counter placed away from this one, not from a corner of it. Vegetarian and Jain guests at the same event are usually given the tandoor or the chaat counter, positioned upwind, so the smell of the grill does not carry over vegetarian food. What this counter does run is a separated shellfish line: prawns and crab are grilled, handled and plated apart from the fish, for guests who avoid shellfish specifically rather than seafood generally.
Which areas do you set this counter up in?
All of Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse and resort venues on the expressway and in the hills.
