Terms and conditions

Prices quoted are exclusive of VAT, and all bookings are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.

Prices include cutlery, crockery, glassware and professional uniformed waiting staff only if stated in our catering quotation.

Table cloths and linen napkins may also be included in the catering quotation where specified, however if additional linen is required for cake tables and/or a present table, a supplementary charge may apply.

If the number of guests attending exceeds the numbers originally booked but we are able to cater for them within our own allowances, we will do so and charge for the higher number at the prevailing rate.

If the number of guests is less than those originally booked, we will still have to charge for the original number quoted.

Final number of guests must be notified to us no later than 7 days prior to the event. After this time if the number increases by up to ten this may be accommodated but cannot be guaranteed. Allowances cannot be made if the number falls. Children numbers must also be specified at this time, when applicable.

A surcharge of £5 will be added per head for parties of fewer than 10 guests.

Whilst every effort will be made to ensure the accuracy of quotations, prices quoted only become binding once specified in your catering proposal, when these terms and conditions come into force.

Gratuities are at your discretion but should be provided to the event manager for fair distribution.
