Which tandoor is best for catering? For catering and banquets, a round tandoor is the practical choice, in SS for long life and a clean look or in MS for a lower upfront cost. It is a classic clay drum tandoor in a stainless steel double body, so it holds heat for long service hours, wipes clean after an event and keeps the outside cooler for the cook. The 24 × 36 is our best-selling catering size, and its 36 inch height is comfortable for the cook to work with. The 30 × 36 is the bigger SS round for busy events.

Why Caterers and Banquets Choose Our Round SS Tandoor

Forno Sethi SS round catering tandoor, 24 x 36, for banquets and wedding catering Made for Long Service – The clay drum tandoor with a double body holds steady heat for hours, which suits wedding and banquet service.

SS or MS, Your Choice – SS wipes clean after an event and lasts longer. MS drum tandoors cost less upfront, which suits caterers who buy in numbers.

Double Body on SS Round – Our SS round tandoors have glass wool between the clay drum and the outer body, which keeps heat in and the outside cooler for the cook.

Pick Your Fuel – Charcoal for smoky taste, gas (LPG or PNG) for quick start and easy control, or hybrid for both.

Real Tandoor Cooking – Naan, tandoori roti and kulcha bake on the hot clay wall, and tikka, kebab and tandoori items cook on skewers.

Repair and Spares – Clay repair and spare parts are available, so a worn chamber does not mean a new tandoor.

Bulk Orders – We supply catering companies, banquet chains and dealers in numbers, with terms discussed on a call.

Catering Tandoor Sizes

Short answer: The 24 × 36 round SS tandoor is our best-selling catering size, and its 36 inch height is comfortable for the cook. For busier events we make the 30 × 36 round SS size. Caterers who order in numbers also choose our 150 litre and 200 litre MS drum tandoors. Custom sizes are possible.

SS or MS Catering Tandoor? Which Body Should You Choose

Short answer: Choose SS if you want a long life and a clean, presentable look at banquets and live counters. Choose an MS drum tandoor if you want a lower upfront cost and you order several tandoors for your catering work. The clay tandoor inside is the same idea in both.

Why Round Tandoors Work for Catering

Short answer: A round tandoor is compact for its cooking surface, loads and unloads easily and is the shape most tandoor cooks know best, so it is the usual choice for caterers.

Compact footprint

A round body fits in a tent, a banquet corner or a live counter without taking much room.

Classic cooking

The cylindrical clay chamber gives the all-round heat that bakes naan on the wall and cooks tikka on skewers.

Easy for the cook

The double body keeps the outside cooler, so the cook works comfortably through a long event.

Fuel for Catering: Charcoal, Gas or Hybrid Pick What Suits Your Events

Short answer: Choose charcoal for smoky flavour, gas for a quick start and easy control, and hybrid if you want to switch between them depending on the venue.

Start-upSlower, light the coalQuickQuick on gas

CleaningAsh to clearLittleAsh on charcoal days
Good forTraditional tasteVenues where speed mattersMixed venues

More on gas: commercial gas tandoor. Charcoal produces carbon monoxide, so always plan good ventilation.

Setting Up a Tandoor for a Catering Event

Cure it first – Heat a new clay tandoor slowly in stages before its first event. See the curing guide.

Open space or good ventilation – Place the tandoor outdoors or where fumes and heat can escape. Charcoal makes carbon monoxide.

Level, firm ground – Keep the tandoor steady on a level surface, away from tent walls, curtains and decorations.

Fuel ready and stored safely – Keep charcoal dry, or the gas cylinder in a safe place away from heat, and confirm LPG or PNG before the event.

Fire safety – Keep a fire extinguisher close and keep cloth, paper and oil away from the tandoor mouth.

After the event – Let the tandoor cool fully, clean the SS body, and keep it covered and dry until the next event.

Skewers and Accessories for Catering Choose the Right Skewer for Your Menu

Short answer: Tandoor skewers are made in different thicknesses for different foods, so tell us your menu and we suggest the right ones. Skewers, naan jodi and cushion are supplied separately with a catering tandoor.

MenuSkewer type
Paneer, soya chaap, veg tikkaThin skewer
