FAQs

How do you handle dietary requirements?

We will discuss all dietary requirements with you before deciding on menu choices. We mark out on a seating plan/ serving table(for walk’n fork) meals specially prepared for those with dietary needs.

What do you do if there is no commercial kitchen onsite?

We have a fully equipped mobile kitchen that we take to events that have no or minimal kitchen facilities onsite (we can cater for up to 250 from this).

When do you require final numbers?

For weddings and large events, we require final numbers 10 days prior to the event. For smaller events, we need the final numbers 7 days before the event.

Can we supply our own food (i.e. beef from our family farm, crayfish that my cousin caught…?)

If the products are high risk (for example meat and seafood), then, unfortunately, as per current food laws, we are legally not allowed to serve any food that is not from an official supplier. If you would like to supply your own cake or desserts, this is fine.

Can I make changes to my wedding day details?

Yes, you can, within reason. For example, you could add in dessert or swap the oysters for a grazing table. Please note, however, if the value of the invoice or the number of guests drops significantly, charges may apply.

Can you provide bar services?

Yes, we can. Please talk to us about your individual needs.

What do you recommend works well in regards to decorations for the family-style plates that will be placed on the table? We don’t want to organise something and then the plates not be able to fit!

Our family-style platters are smaller (shared between 4-6 guests), so tend to fit into spaces on the tables well. We have experienced many different table settings and always seem to find space to fit these in!

We suggest considering how wide the tables are and if they are narrow, we recommend going for more minimal decorations and nothing too substantial down the middle.

In terms of table settings, a wine glass, water glass, main plate, knife and fork per guest is sufficient.

What is included in your pricing?
