How it works
Consultation
We will discuss your event, your food choices, suggested beverages, the number of attendees and schedule a time that works for you.
The service
We will arrive one hour before the meal is to be served and will bring any extra equipment needed. Once the food is prepared, you and your guests will be served each course. Once the meal is completed, your kitchen will be cleaned too.
The meal
Meals are prepared with only the freshest, hand-selected ingredients using healthy cooking methods based on our agreed upon menu.
The cost
Prices are based on your menu and number of participants and will be quoted after our FREE 15 minutes consultation. Taxes & travel fee are extra. $1.30/km for travel over 60km round trip.
