BEFORE YOU BOOK

Bespoke Catering, your questions answered

What counts as bespoke catering?

Anything that is not on a standard menu. A dinner built around a theme, a menu shaped by a budget, a multi-course meal for a small number, or an event where the standard buffets do not fit the room.

How does the price work?

It is quoted on the job rather than taken from a per-head list, because the cost follows the ingredients, the numbers and how long our team is with you. We will give you a clear figure before you commit to anything.

How do we start?

Ring the office or send an enquiry with the date, roughly how many guests, the venue and what you have in mind. We will come back with a menu and a price.

Can you work at any venue?

Usually. A kitchen is preferred but not essential, and water and power are helpful rather than required. We need roughly a 3 by 5 metre area to set up and serve from. Tell us the venue and we will be straight with you about whether it works.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and halal. Give us the numbers for each when you book and those portions are prepared separately and clearly labelled. On a bespoke menu we build the requirements in from the start.

Is there a minimum number of guests?

It depends on what you want. Hot buffets, In The Middle, hog roasts, barbecues and pizza all start at 50 guests or the equivalent booking value. A cold buffet or a smaller sit-down has no minimum beyond the £20 order value.

How much notice do you need?

More than a buffet, and it depends on the job. A menu that has to be designed and sourced is not a next-day order. Ring us with your date and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
