Question 1

How quickly will I receive my catering quote?

Accepted Answer

We aim to respond to all online quote requests within 24 hours. If your event is very urgent (within the next 48 hours), please call us directly on 01209 206255 for an immediate response.

Question 2

Is there any cost or obligation to get a quote?

Accepted Answer

No, our quotes are 100% free and come with no obligation. We are happy to provide multiple options to help you find a menu that fits your budget.

Question 3

How do I secure my booking after receiving the quote?

Accepted Answer

Once you are happy with the price and menu, we require a deposit to secure your date in our diary. The remaining balance is typically due closer to the event date.

Question 4

Do you charge for travel to my venue?

Accepted Answer

We cover the whole of Cornwall and Devon. For local events near Redruth, delivery is often included. For venues further afield (e.g., Exeter or North Devon), a small mileage fee may be included in your quote.

Question 5

Can I change the menu after I get the quote?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We view the initial quote as a starting point. We can refine, mix-and-match, or completely change the menu items until you are 100% satisfied.

Question 6

Do you offer tasting sessions before we book?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for large events like weddings, we can arrange a tasting session so you can sample our quality. Please mention this when you request your quote.

Question 7

When do I need to confirm final guest numbers?

Accepted Answer

We understand guest lists change. We usually require final numbers 7-14 days before the event, but we can discuss specific terms for your booking.

Question 8

Do your quotes include VAT?

Accepted Answer

Our quotes are transparent. We will clearly state the total price. As a professional business, applicable tax details will be broken down for corporate clients.

Question 9

Can you cater for dietary requirements not listed on the menu?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have guests with complex allergies or specific dietary needs (e.g., Halal, Kosher-style, Low-FODMAP), just let us know in the notes section and we will accommodate them.

Question 10

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept Bank Transfer (BACS), Credit/Debit Cards, and Cash. We can issue formal invoices for corporate clients.

Question 11

Do you provide crockery and cutlery?

Accepted Answer

Our standard buffet quotes usually include high-quality disposable plates and cutlery. If you require real china, silverware, and linen, we can include hire costs for these in your bespoke quote.

Question 12

Is there a minimum order value?

Accepted Answer

We generally have a minimum guest count of 20 for full service, but we are flexible. For smaller parties, we offer drop-off platter services. Let us know your numbers and we'll find a solution.
