- Exactly what’s included in the price
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
