We arrive on time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Timings and hours
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Whether you need crockery
- Parking and unloading
The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The address or venue name
- Which courses you have in mind
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: venue, timings, courses and extras. To send your details, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot

- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
