At the Start
After your initial enquiry we will meet with you before the event to discuss your individual requirements and discuss the proposed area for the event. At this meeting we will also bring over sample menus based on your initial request. If you have your own ideas this is the time to let us know and we will advise accordingly and look to develope a menu around your tastes and ideas.

Moving Forward
After the initial meeting has taken place you will need to pay a 10% deposit in advance. One week prior to the event we will communicate with you to talk about any final details. These will include any menu changes, time of arrival and final numbers and any last concerns that you may have.

On the Day
We will arrive in good time, setup and answer any last minute questions you may have. We will provide all the equipment necessary for the event and setup to your requirements. The majority of cold items will be prepared off site, with the final cooking and culinary touches taking place on the day.
For a BBQ event we would require the use of an area (ideally a kitchen) to complete our final touches.
For our fine dining events we will work quietly in the background giving you time to concentrate on your guests. All the while being attentively waited on by our waiter/waitress.
For our buffet events we will provide waiting staff to help serve the buffet and drinks. An area for preparation would be greatly appreciated. Our waiting staff are friendly, courteous and trustworthy individuals.

For a wedding function we will work extremerly closely with yourselves. Very early on we will visit the venue to see what space is available and if any further equipment is necessary .
Once a menu has been agreed and numbers calculated we will produce a detailed ititial quote including any extras.

Quotes
We will of course provide you with a no-obligation quote for your event. Upon your acceptance of the quote we would require a 10% deposit which will secure your booking with us. Please be aware that this is a non-refundable deposit in the event of your cancellation.

Changes to pricing
We reserve the right to review the prices on the webpage but will give reasonable notice of any changes that may affect you.

Payment
We will expect the balance payable in full (minus the deposit) 24 hours before the event.

Equipment / Staffing
All equipment(see wedding), crockery, glassware, staffing etc. are included within the quotation. If an event should overrun substantially an additional charge will be made at the appropriate hourly rate
