To get started, you can download a simple lunch menu or a sample menu from their website to explore options. You can also request a quotation directly for corporate and large private events. The process involves placing an order at least 7 days in advance to ensure fresh ingredients are used.

Orders must be placed at least 7 days prior to the event day to reduce food waste and include fresh ingredients. The business charges a £300 minimum fee plus transportation costs, with the final cost depending on the number of guests. If the number of guests decreases by more than 10%, they reserve the right to increase the price per person.

A 50% deposit is required to confirm an order and must be paid at least 7 working days before the event. The remaining balance is due within a maximum of 5 days after the event concludes. This payment structure ensures that food is cooked only for what has been ordered and paid for.
