Common questions

A few things to know before you order

Can I just order catering boxes online?
Yes. The online catering collection is designed for straightforward food orders. Choose the product, quantity and available options on the product page. For bigger or more complex jobs, use the quote form.
Can you cater for a sporting club, school or workplace?
Yes. We welcome enquiries for meetings, event days, presentations, functions and recurring arrangements. Tell us the attendance, venue, timing and level of service required so we can assess the best format.
Can food, room hire and equipment be combined?
Yes. We can quote a practical combination of catering, Emerald room or venue hire, equipment, delivery, setup or service where available.
Do you deliver and set up?
Delivery and setup can be discussed for suitable orders and locations. The cost and availability depend on the date, distance, order size, equipment and time required.
Can you help with dietary requirements?
Tell us about dietary needs at the enquiry stage. We will confirm what is practical for the menu and event. Our kitchens handle common allergens, so an allergen-free environment cannot be guaranteed.
How much notice do you need?
Lead time varies by product, quantity, venue and service. Online products show the available ordering options. For functions, clubs and larger events, enquire as early as possible.
