SET UP BY OUR TEAM
Buffets, set up properly.
Silver is a complete self-service hot buffet for corporate meetings, team lunches, training days and office functions. Gold adds a cold table, more elaborate presentation and our serving team. Platinum is chef-led, with a carving station or grill. A buffet station needs time and space, so we agree the room with you, set the station the day before or early that morning, then bring the food in fresh and hot.
Set up before your guests arrive. Table up, cloth on, chafing dishes lit and food out on time, then cleared away after.

OUR SIGNATURE STEP
We visit. We photograph. We show you.
Before your buffet, Chef Ioannis visits your venue. You show us where you’d like the station, we photograph the space, and we send you a visualisation of exactly how it will look. Once you approve it, that’s our plan, so there are no surprises on the day.
HOW WE WORK
Prevention is better than cure.
Twenty-five years of corporate events have taught us what makes a day run smoothly. These rules protect your event as much as ours. We send them with every booking confirmation and in your brochure.
Confirm 7 days before
Menu, final numbers, dietary needs and the exact room, in writing, one week before the event. If we don’t hear back by then, we withdraw from the booking.
Buffets need setup time
We visit the venue or see a floor plan first, and set the station the day before or early that morning, with the room agreed and free.
The room is agreed in advance
Moving location on the day can delay service or add cost.
Access times are agreed in writing
We need enough time in the room to set up properly. With a short access window, we bring the food ready to serve on platters and in boxes instead.
The serving plan is fixed
How many serving areas, and the order of service, are agreed 7 days before. Extra areas on the day may need more staff.
Special items need notice
Anything unusual, such as specific meats or breads, must be requested at least 7 days before.
Labels
One printed menu card per station comes as standard, and lunch boxes are labelled individually. Labels on every buffet item are available on request in advance and may cost extra.
Changes on the day
We will always try to help, but late changes can’t be guaranteed.
Drop-off is simple
Breakfasts, lunch boxes and platters need none of this. We deliver and go.
Your deposit. The booking deposit secures your date. Cancellations made within 7 days of the event will forfeit the deposit, as costs have been incurred and the date cannot be rebooked at short notice.

GOOD TO KNOW
Before you
book.
The questions office managers ask us most.
Why don’t you show the full menus?
Because we tailor every menu to your guests, the season and your venue. Pick a service and we send you its menu with a clear price. We reply quickly.
Can you deliver to office towers and city-centre buildings?
Yes. Loading bays, access windows and building rules: we check them before we book, so the delivery runs on time.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for buffets. Everything is confirmed in writing 7 days before the event.
Can you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?
Yes. We offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher-style options, clearly labelled. Tell us every allergy when you book, and you can also complete our allergen form.
Can we order for fewer guests than the minimum?
Our minimum order for delivered breakfasts and lunches is £500. Larger groups pay less per person, so tell us your numbers and we will send the right menu and price.
Where do you cater?
We are based in Hockley, Birmingham, and cater across the West Midlands, London and Wales. Delivery and setup within 10 miles is included; further afield we quote for travel.
