Can I share allergy-related requirements?
Yes, explain the exact requirement before menu selection. Obtain direct confirmation of what the business can and cannot accommodate, including relevant handling questions.
Does a dish name prove ingredient suitability?
No. Ingredients and preparation can vary. Confirm the selected dish and handling arrangements directly rather than relying on a familiar name.
Should arrangements be confirmed in writing?
Yes. Specific food requirements and the response should be recorded alongside the agreed menu. Do not treat a general enquiry acknowledgement as a suitability confirmation.
How can we request a menu-specific quotation?
Share the event date, venue, guest estimate and dietary preferences, ingredient concerns and guest requirements. A quote should be tied to an agreed menu and service basis rather than an unexplained amount per person.
What should be agreed before booking?
Confirm the dishes, guest basis, service timing and responsibilities for preparation, staffing and equipment. Review availability, exclusions, changes and commercial terms before considering the event booked.
