Booking fees & key timings

A $200 non-refundable deposit is required at your time of booking. This deposit is to secure your date, and it is non refundable as with the nature of my business, I am only able to take one booking per weekend and a cancellation results in loss of income.

• I will do my best to accommodate any changes to your event date if it’s at least 14 days prior. 

• Final numbers are required 10 days out from your booking, along with full payment. Payment is non-refundable from this point as I will be ordering fresh produce and meat.

• Booking fees are valid for travel within the Tauranga/Papamoa/Mount Maunganui areas. If you live further afield and would like to book an event, please get in touch to discuss travel costs.
  

Dietary requirements

• Dietary requirements are accepted at your time of booking, but due to the nature of cooking in a foreign home I am not suitable to cater for severe or anaphylactic allergies.

Breakage fees 

• Grinter hire is available for $6.50 per glass. There’s a $60 replacement fee per glass if damaged.

• Breakage fees will be incurred for any broken crockery/equipment at cost of replacement item.

Serving & cleaning 

• All food is designed to be shared, aside from the odd individual served dessert.

• I require a clean and tidy kitchen space to cook/prepare food. 

• When I leave, I will give your kitchen a general clean to ensure I leave it as sparkly as I found it. I will set the dishwasher on a clean cycle for all serveware.

• If guests are still eating/using dishes when I leave, these will need to be stacked and cleaned ready for me to pick up in the morning.

Inclusion policy

• Everyone is welcome at my table, I believe in equal and fair rights for all. I love a theme and a costume party, but please make sure these are appropriate.

• I reserve the right to leave an event at any stage if I believe your theme crosses into cultural appropriation. In this instance, the booking fee will be non refunded.
