FAQ’s

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking 3–6 months in advance to secure your preferred date, especially during the busy summer season. This allows ample time to plan every detail, ensuring your event runs smoothly and exceeds expectations. However, if your event is approaching soon, feel free to contact us—we’ll always do our best to accommodate.

Do you provide outdoor catering equipment and furniture?

Absolutely! We offer a full range of outdoor catering equipment and event furnishings, including BBQs, tents, lighting, and stylish furniture. Whether you need a full marquee setup, rustic dining tables, or elegant glassware, we can source everything you need to create the perfect summer setting.

Can you accommodate themed summer parties?

Yes! We love bringing themes to life, from tropical luaus and Mediterranean feasts to British garden parties and festival-inspired events. Our themed catering and event planning services ensure that every detail, from the menu to the décor, reflects your chosen style.

What if it rains?

We’re always prepared for unpredictable weather. We can arrange weather-proof solutions, such as marquees, covered dining areas, or indoor spaces, so your celebration continues without a hitch. Our team closely monitors the forecast and makes proactive adjustments to keep your event on track.

Do you offer bar services?

Of course! Our bar services are tailored to your event, offering everything from signature cocktails and Pimm’s stations to mocktails and wine pairings. We also provide experienced bartenders who can craft bespoke drinks to match your event’s style and theme.

Can you help us choose a venue?

Definitely. We provide venue recommendations based on your style, budget, and guest count and assist with negotiations and logistics.
