Questions

Before you book

All questions →

How is event catering priced?

Each event is quoted per guest, based on headcount, venue, service style and the dishes you choose. Your quote lists every cost, ingredients and equipment included, before you confirm.

When do you need final guest numbers?

Seven days before the event, with your menu and dietary requirements. After that we can still take up to 10% more guests at the quoted rate per guest.

What if the venue has no kitchen?

We cook off-site and deliver to the venue. Where needed, we visit beforehand to see what is there and plan around it.

Can you cater for allergies and mixed diets?

Yes. Tell us about every allergy and dietary need when you confirm numbers, and the chef plans the menu around them.

Where do you cater?

We cater wherever you are in East Africa. Any travel is set out in your quote.
