FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS...
with sensible answers!
Q. How do I decide on the menu?
A.
We will send you a range of seasonal menus in order to give you an idea of what we can offer. We welcome any thoughts, ideas & special requests that you may have, from a favourite dish of your own to catering for a special diet or allergy. We can then offer a range of specific bespoke menu suggestions from which you can then make your selection. Rest assured we are very flexible!
Q. Can I offer my guests a choice of dishes?
A.
No problem whatsoever! Ideally it helps us to know what your choices are in advance, but it is perfectly possible to offer a choice on the day.
Q. I'm not sure if I have enough equipment!
A.
Whilst it is useful for us to know whether you have an Aga, gas hob or electric oven, we don't need an inventory! We bring our own pots, pans & utensils. We can supply crockery, cutlery, glassware, table linen & napkins if required
Q. When do you need to arrive?
A.
The time that we need to arrive will depend on your menu selection, number of guests & so on. Generally speaking we try to be with you around 90 minutes prior to your guests' arrival. Whilst we prepare as much as possible in advance, we try & ensure that we cook everything to order in your home

Our prices include the services of a waiter for the evening. They will set the table for you, help serve drinks & wine as well as the food & ensure that we leave everything spick & span!

We promise to leave your kitchen as we found it, with everything washed up, clean & tidy!
