How do I order or at least calculate the cost of an event?
  1. Enter the number of people you want to cater for (it can be an estimate, and you can firm up details closer to the event).
  2. Select other services as necessary, eg add a waiter if required and appropriate.
  3. Click estimate cost.... the cost of the event is given, adjust as necessary.
  4. Fill in your other details and send your DRAFT event details to us.
  5. We will contact you and discuss your event to firm up details.
  6. Once everyone is happy we will ask you for a deposit and ...... then on the date we will cater your function.
How do I balance between different peoples tastes?

There are three ways to do this. 

  • The first is to follow our set menus.  These tend to be designed from experience to cater for a wide variety of tastes. 
  • The second option is to select broadly from our groupings in the 'Select yourself'.  As a guide, pick 20-30% of items as vegetarian.  Have at least 30% non seafood items - even if the theme is seafood.
  • Combine a 30/70 ratio between hot and cold food - depending if predominately a hot or cold menu.  This also avoids the 'everything was deep fried' syndrome.
I have an army of capable 'helpers' who can help distribute food and drinks. We are happy to work in with how you would like to run your event.  However, as you can imagine, we cannot be responsible for the service levels of your helpers... if in doubt and you want a professional approach... leave it to us.
Can I choose say 20 different items..... even though there are only 20 people attending my event?  The bottom line here is ..... be reasonable.... naturally it is not economically viable to make 20 different items for say 20 people..... the reason being that it oftern takes 1 hour or more to make an item.  I guess just common sense stuff.
Can I choose a range of items from your 'Select Yourself' list even if some of them consist of being Breakfast, Dessert & Savory in the same order? Yes, you can choose as many items as you like, and they can vary from any of our Breakfast, Dessert or Savory menus.
