Frequently asked questions
We understand that planning an event can be overwhelming. Here are some common queries we receive from our clients.
What types of events do you cater for?
We cater for weddings, birthdays, corporate events and other celebrations. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger event, we’ll help you choose a service that suits the occasion.
Where do you provide catering?
We’re based in Manchester and cater for events across the UK. Travel and any related costs will be included in your quotation.
How do I get a quote?
Send us your event date, venue or location, estimated guest numbers and the type of service you’re considering. We’ll use these details to prepare a tailored quotation.
How do I secure my date?
Dates are secured once your booking is confirmed and the agreed deposit has been paid. We usually request a deposit of 5–10%, depending on the booking. Dates remain subject to availability until then.
Can I customise the menu?
Yes. We’ll work with you to create a menu that suits your event, preferences and budget. If there’s a dish you’d like that isn’t listed, ask us and we’ll let you know if we can accommodate it.
What catering styles do you offer?
Depending on your event, options may include assisted buffet, table service, family-style dining, cocktail hour, grazing tables and live food stations. We’ll recommend a format based on your plans and venue.
Can you provide live food stations?
Yes. Live stations can be arranged for selected dishes, such as amala served on the spot. Please mention your preferred station when you enquire, as it needs to be planned in advance.
Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies?
Please tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies as early as possible. We’ll discuss the menu options with you and explain how we can accommodate them. We cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment, so please share any allergy information before booking.
Can I add items to my booking later?
You can request additions after booking, subject to availability and enough preparation time. Once your deposit has been paid, menu items can’t be removed, so please check your choices carefully before confirming.
Do you offer tastings?
Tastings can be arranged by request. Please contact us to discuss availability, the options and any applicable cost.
Do you provide staff and serving equipment?
Staffing and service equipment can be included depending on the service you choose and the details of your event. Your quotation will outline what is included.
What do I need to provide for the event?
This depends on your venue and chosen service. We’ll discuss access, facilities, setup times and any venue requirements with you during the planning process.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation and payment terms are set out in your booking agreement. Please review these before confirming your booking.
How far in advance should I enquire?
As early as possible, especially for weddings and peak dates. We can only accept bookings for dates that are still available.
