Every care home event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your care home event for a quote: use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
