Questions we get asked

Booking, delivery, payment, menus and dietary needs. If you can't find your answer here, call us on 07498 754944 and we'll be happy to help.

Booking and payment

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can. We recommend at least 7 days' notice where possible, but we know some events come together quickly and we're used to adapting to tight timescales. If your date is close, call us on 07498 754944 and we'll do our best to help.

Do you take a deposit, and how do I pay?

We don't ask for a deposit. For events, we send an electronic invoice, which usually needs to be paid in full 7 days before your event. Contract catering is arranged differently, and we'll agree the terms with you.

What if my plans change or I need to cancel?

We know events can change quickly, which is why we don't take deposits. You can cancel at any time before the full payment has been made.

Menus and dietary needs

What kinds of events and food do you cater for?

A huge variety, from small and large buffets to big sit-down weddings and corporate awards evenings. Take a look at our menus and services for ideas, or tell us what you have in mind.

Can I change a menu?

Yes. You can change our set menus as much as you like, or choose the custom option on our menus page and build your own. Changes will affect the price, and we'll work with you to put together the best menu for your budget.

How do you handle allergies and dietary requirements?

Our booking forms have a section where you can tell us about any dietary needs or allergies in advance, and we'll talk through what your guests need with you in full. Between us we have years of experience in the food industry, including running several establishments and owning a cafe and a wine bar.

Orders, delivery and service

What is the minimum order?

Our minimum order is 15 guests. If your event is smaller than that, please get in touch and we'll talk through what you need.

How big an event can you cater for?

There is no maximum. We have catered for over 1,500 guests, and we're equally happy with smaller gatherings of 15 or more.

Do you deliver, and is there a delivery charge?

We deliver free within a 10-mile radius of Wellingborough. Beyond that there is a small delivery fee, worked out event by event depending on the size of the order.

Do you provide serving staff, plates and equipment?

Yes. We can provide everything your event needs, whatever the type, including serving staff, plates, napkins and serving equipment, and we collect our trays afterwards. For a sit-down hot meal such as a wedding, we speak to your venue about its kitchen set-up and whether we can use its own cutlery and crockery.
