Event Day Subjectivities

All prices are quoted for a specific number of guests. When numbers drop, our overheads do not reduce proportionally and therefore our menu prices increase. We require confirmation of numbers to be catered if increase the guest list before three days of an event.

After this date, increase in numbers of up to 10 to 20 people can usually be accommodated but no allowances can be made if numbers drop. If the number of guests attending exceeds the numbers booked (and we are able to cater for them) we will charge for the greater number.

If the number of guests attending is less than the number booked, plus we are left uninformed about it three days prior to the event, we will still charge the total number ordered you originally placed.

Client agrees to pay any for any and all additional services requested by the client not included in contract. Any additional service requested shall be made by the client in writing.
