Off-Site Catering Cancellation Policy

We understand that plans can change, and we’ll always do our best to work with you — but once our team starts planning, shopping, and prepping, costs are already underway.

Deposit & Confirmation

A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking.

Your booking is confirmed once the deposit has been received.

Final Numbers & Payment

Final guest numbers and full payment are due 14 days prior to your event.

Any additions after that point will be accommodated where possible and charged accordingly.

Cancellations

More than 14 days prior to your event: Any payments made (less the deposit) will be refunded.

Between 7 and 14 days prior: 50% of the total booking cost will be charged.

Less than 7 days prior: The full amount (100%) is payable, as all staffing, produce, and preparation costs will have been committed.

Postponements

If you need to move your event, we’ll happily transfer your deposit to a new date (within 3 months), subject to availability.

Force Majeure

If an event is cancelled due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control (e.g. extreme weather, venue closure, or government restrictions), we’ll work with you to either reschedule or issue a partial refund depending on expenses already incurred.
