How do I book food and drinks for my event with you?
The best way to book our catering service is by contacting us directly to discuss your plans and create a custom experience. We don’t do generic online forms for group events because we believe the best results come from a real conversation. Our approach is personal and uncomplicated, ensuring your event gets the flavour and vibe it deserves, straight from the heart of our “proudly unstarred” kitchen, Ms.Chelin.
How does the booking process work?
Our process is designed to be simple and collaborative. First, you reach out to us with your initial idea. Next, one of our local hosts will connect with you to chat about your needs—the what, when, and who. Based on that conversation, we’ll put together a proposal with menu options and pricing. Once you’re happy with the plan, you give us the nod, and we lock it in. It’s that easy.
What information should I have ready?
To help us get started, it’s great if you have a few key details handy. Think about the basics: the estimated number of guests, the date and time of your event, and any specific dietary requirements or allergies we need to know about. It’s also helpful if you have an idea of the vibe you’re going for—is it a casual get-together with snacks and cold beers, or a more structured breakfast or brunch? The more you can tell us, the better we can tailor the menu.
How far in advance should I arrange catering, and what are the payment terms?
We recommend contacting us at least two to three weeks in advance for group bookings, especially for larger events. This gives us plenty of time to plan the perfect menu and secure everything needed. All payment details, including any required deposit to confirm your booking, will be clearly outlined in the personalized proposal we create for you. We believe in keeping things transparent and simple, with no hidden surprises.
Is a deposit required when booking?
Yes, for most group and event bookings, we require a deposit to secure your date and our services. This confirms your commitment and allows us to start planning and sourcing the fresh, local ingredients that make our food so good. The exact deposit amount will depend on the size of your event and will be clearly stated in your quote. The remaining balance is typically due closer to the event date.
What happens after I’ve confirmed my catering order with you?
Once your order is confirmed, you can relax knowing our team is on it. We will stay in touch as your event approaches to finalize all the little details and make sure everything is perfectly aligned with your vision. Our goal is to handle the logistics so you can focus on enjoying your event with your guests. We are your local hosts, and we’re here to ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
How do we confirm the final event details?
About a week before your event, we’ll reach out for a final check-in. This is when we’ll confirm the final guest count, confirm timings, and run through any last-minute questions you might have. This ensures we are all on the same page and that our kitchen team can prepare everything to perfection for the right number of people.
How do I handle last-minute changes to the catering order?
We know that plans can change. If you need to make adjustments, please contact us as soon as possible. While we can’t promise we can accommodate major changes—like a significant increase in guest count—less than 72 hours before the event, we will always do our best to be flexible. For small tweaks, just give us a shout. Our welcoming spirit means we’ll always try to find a solution.
