I charge a variable cost (per head), to cover ingredients and my time to prior to the event - time spent tailoring a menu, sourcing and prepping ingredients before I arrive on site.

  • Reimbursement for parking and toll fees

  • Surcharges for expensive ingredients

  • Front of house staff / qualified sommelier

  • Catering equipment hire (crockery, cutlery, tables, chairs, linen etc)

Terms of service.

Deposit

I require a deposit to confirm a date for a booking. Once you are happy with the menu and the overall price, I require the full, balancing payment 3 days before the event.

Cancellation and refunds

For cancellations at least one week in advance of the event, I will refund 75% of your deposit. The remainder will be retained to compensate for time costs incurred in designing the menu, arranging the event and the opportunity cost of not working.

For cancellations less than one week or more than 3 days in advance of the event, I will refund 50% of your deposit and retain 50% to cover time costs incurred in arranging the event, designing and preparing the menu, and the cost of ingredients pre-ordered with my suppliers to ensure supply.

No refunds will be offered for cancellations less than 3 days in advance of the event but I will endeavour to make myself available for an alternative date.

If I have to cancel your booking, I will endeavour to find someone to replace me, or refund your deposit in full.

Changes to the size of your party

If you wish to increase the size of your party, please notify me at least 3 days in advance of the event, so that I can buy ingredients accordingly. A minimum invoice may apply.

I am unable to offer any refund if you wish to reduce the size of your party within 3 days of the event or if any of your guests cancel. This is because of the time incurred planning the event and the cost of buying ingredients.
