The cost of catering will be Dependent on your event, the number of people, the food you want and the complexity of the event, where it is held and other factors.

Here is more information about what we do, and how our bookings work:
1
Your Information
You can contact us with the contact form below, or email, or call us.
Depending on the food service you require we will send out a form for you to complete and/or speak to you on the phone.
​
As you can imagine, a wedding for 100 people in a field differs massively from dropping a off a small buffet for 10 people on a lunch time. We will only ask what is relevant.
2
What do you want?
Maybe you have a clear-cut idea of what you want for your event. Maybe you only have a rough idea?
We can run through different options based on your budget, venue and preferences. The form we send out/the questions we will ask may help to inform some of your decision making.
​
If you want a cold buffet dropped off, we only need basic information to check availability and if it's withinn our delivery area.
​
For larger events, with street food and bespoke services we can offer advice and explain clearly how we will operate, and we can do.
​
Things for you to think about include:
-
Timings - how long do you have for guests to eat, what else is happening on the day of your event?
-
Event Venue and Facilites - is there space for a gazebo or for a buffet station - is there a kitchen - is it a field with no facilities?
-
Venue Access - how can we access the venue, are there stairs or difficult access points?
-
Budget - How mauch do you want to spend on food?
-
Theme - Have you got a theme or a particular vibe you want to create? Is it a festival, is it more formal?
-
No of Guests - How many people are you feeding?
-
Dietary Requirements - Do we need to cater for special diets?
