Frequently Asked Questions

Below are answers to common questions about how we plan menus, handle dietary requirements, manage bookings, and operate on the day of your event.

How far in advance should I book catering?

For larger or more complex events, we recommend securing your date as early as possible, particularly during peak seasons. For smaller events and business lunches, we can sometimes accommodate shorter notice, subject to availability. Once you submit details via the Booking page, we will confirm whether your preferred date is available.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements and allergens?

Yes. We regularly cater for vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free guests, as well as other specific requirements. During the planning stage we ask you to share any dietary or allergen information, and we build clear labelling and separate preparation where required. If you have complex requirements, you can discuss them in more detail via our Contact Us page.

Do you provide staff, equipment, and tableware?

Depending on your chosen package, we can provide serving staff, buffet equipment, and, where agreed, tableware and glassware. These elements are itemised in your proposal so you can clearly see what is included and what can be added if required.

What is your booking and payment process?

Once you are happy with your proposal, we issue a booking confirmation outlining services, pricing, and key dates. A deposit may be required to secure your date, with the remaining balance due in line with our Terms and Conditions. Full booking guidance is available on our Booking page.

What happens on the day of the event?

Our team arrives at the pre-agreed time to set up all catering areas. We then manage food presentation, guest service, and ongoing replenishment according to your schedule. After service, we clear catering spaces and remove our equipment, leaving the venue tidy.

How can I discuss a specific brief or complex requirement?

If your event has specific protocols, multiple locations, or complex dietary or cultural needs, we recommend arranging a direct discussion. You can reach us by telephone on +447346759021 or email [email protected], or you can send an outline via the Contact Us page and we will respond with next steps.
