What is the minimum order?

The 100-guest minimum applies to outdoor catering only. For indoor events and smaller gatherings, message us and we'll do our best to help.

How much advance notice do you need?

Please reach out as early as you can. Peak wedding and festival dates book quickly — a few weeks' notice is ideal, but always ask, even if it's soon.
