GOOD TO KNOW
Before you

The questions we are asked most.
How much food is a grazing table?
Our grazing tables are planned as a light meal for a two to three hour event. If it is the only food at an evening party, tell us and we will size it up.
Why don’t you show the full menus?
Because we tailor every menu to your guests, the season and your venue. Pick a package and we send you its menu with a clear price. We reply quickly.
Do you cater for vegan, gluten-free and halal?
Yes, at the same price. Tell us every allergy and dietary need when you book, and you can also complete our allergen form.
Do you provide waiting staff?
Our team serves on Gold and Platinum afternoon tea, and sets up and clears every grazing table. Extra staff for other packages are available from £19.50 an hour.
Can I order for fewer guests than the minimum?
Talk to us. For a small gathering we can usually offer grazing boxes or a minimum spend.
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.
