Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so guests are fed quickly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.

Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Chicken, vegetable or premium seafood
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- How many guests are eating
- Distance and access to the venue
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you can choose exactly what you need.
Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
