Questions

The things people ask before booking.

How far can you travel?

I'm based in Eastbourne, East Sussex, and happy to travel within a 30-mile radius, roughly an hour's drive. That covers Brighton, Lewes, Hastings, Tunbridge Wells and most of Sussex and Kent in between. Travel is included in your quote.

Can I change the menu?

Absolutely. It's your evening and nothing is off the table. The sample menu is a starting point; if you have favourites, or want something fully bespoke, we'll build it together before the day.

How many guests can you cook for?

A minimum of 2 and a maximum of 12 for a seated dinner. For larger gatherings, ask about canapé and sharing menus.

What's included in the quote?

Everything: an initial menu consultation, all travel, shopping and preparation, cooking and service on the night, and a complete clean-up of your kitchen before I leave.

Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergens?

Yes, of course. Every menu is bespoke and can accommodate all of your and your guests' requirements. Just let me know when you enquire.

Do you bring your own equipment?

I bring specialist equipment and use the kitchen equipment available in your home. If your event is at a rental venue, please check with your host what will be available. Premium crockery and glassware can be hired for an additional fee.

Do you set the table?

I don't, I'm afraid. Ideally the table is dressed before I arrive, especially where space is limited, so I can concentrate on the food.

How does payment work?

A £100 deposit secures your date. The balance is due 30 days before the event; bookings made within 30 days are paid in full at the time of booking. Payment is by bank transfer or PayPal. Cancel up to 30 days ahead for a full refund; after that date no refund can be issued.

Can you recommend a florist, DJ or other suppliers?

Yes. I work with trusted people across the South East and am happy to make introductions. Just ask.
