Key points

Food hygiene

The cold chain is respected from transport to service: cold dishes stay chilled, hot dishes stay hot, and nothing is left at room temperature for hours. Equipment and hands are clean, raw and cooked foods kept separate, and leftovers that have stood in the open are not served again.

Allergies and diets

Give the allergies and intolerances of your guests in advance, along with any particular diets: that is the only way to adapt the dishes and avoid cross-contamination. The dishes concerned are identified and served separately, and the composition of dishes can be given to guests who ask.

What affects the price

number of guests;
length of the event;
venue and access;
equipment and supplies;
number of staff.

The rate is agreed with the worker based on these elements.
