Answers to the most common questions about ordering, delivery, dietary requirements, pricing and our services across Cornwall and Devon.
Our Services
We offer a wide range of services including holiday cottage food delivery, buffets, hog roasts, BBQs, cream teas, Cornish hampers, wedding catering, corporate catering, film and TV crew catering, and emergency catering.
Yes, holiday cottage catering is one of our specialities. We deliver freshly prepared meals, cream teas, Cornish hampers, and breakfast packs directly to holiday properties across Cornwall and Devon.
Yes, we provide full wedding catering across Cornwall and Devon. From intimate receptions to large celebrations, we offer menus including hog roasts, BBQs and buffets. For hog roasts and BBQs our cook team cooks live on-site and guests come up and help themselves — it is relaxed and self-serve, not a plated sit-down meal. We do not provide waiting staff or table service.
Yes, hog roasts and BBQs are among our most popular services. Our cook team arrives with all equipment, sets up, cooks live on-site and packs down afterwards. Guests come up to the hog or the BBQ and help themselves — cook team included, self-serve for guests.
Yes, we provide corporate catering across Cornwall and Devon. From working lunches and boardroom buffets to large conference catering and team away days.
Yes, we have extensive experience providing catering for film and TV crews on location across the South West.
No — we don't currently offer halal-certified catering. Our menus accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free and pork-free requirements, but we are not a halal kitchen.
We don't run a licensed bar or supply alcohol — most venues handle that separately, and we're happy to coordinate timing with your bar supplier. Hot and soft drinks can be included as part of your catering (for example a continuous hot-drinks station for conferences) where it suits the brief.
No — we don't run a hire service for tableware, crockery, glassware or linen. For cook-team-on-site events we bring serving equipment for the food; guest place settings are usually arranged via the venue or a dedicated hire company.
No — we're a cook team, not a front-of-house team. Our crew cooks the food and sets it out at the catering station; guests come up and help themselves. We don't provide silver-service waiters, table clearance or bar staff.
Yes. We've worked with National Grid and utility companies on emergency welfare deployments — 24/7 for those. For standard events, we regularly confirm bookings within 48 hours and welcome same-week requests.
Yes, we offer traditional Cornish cream teas for delivery. Each cream tea includes freshly baked scones, Cornish clotted cream, strawberry jam, and tea.
Our hampers feature locally sourced Cornish produce including artisan cheeses, Cornish cured meats, fresh bread, chutneys, biscuits, and other regional specialities.

For events more than 21 days away, a 30% deposit secures your booking and the balance is due 7 days before your event date. For orders under £100, full payment may be required at the time of booking.
We offer both options. Standard buffets and hampers are delivery-only — they arrive set out and ready to serve. For hog roasts, BBQs, giant pans and large events, our cook team comes on-site to cook your food live, then guests help themselves. We do not provide front-of-house or waiting staff, and we do not plate up for guests on any format.
No — we do not provide or hire out crockery, cutlery or glassware, so you will need to arrange those separately. Your food arrives in suitable serving packaging, and where relevant we include disposable serving items. Our focus is the food.
When our cook team is on-site we bring everything we need to cook and set the food out — our own gazebo, equipment and power. For delivery orders, suitable trays, tongs and packaging are included. We do not hire out tableware or chafing dishes.
Yes, we regularly cater for large-scale events including festivals, community celebrations, and private parties.
Cancellations made 28 or more days before your event date: deposit only is retained. Cancellations 7–28 days before: 50% of the total order value is payable. Cancellations within 7 days of the event: 100% of the total is payable, as food and preparation will already be committed. Full details are in our Terms & Conditions.
