How we run it

The programme never waits on the food.

Start time, breaks, lunch, close. We quote each session against it.

We time every service to it

Food is on the table before the break starts, and cleared while the next session runs.

Dietaries without fuss

Vegetarian in every session, vegan bowl food, and a dietaries link each delegate can fill in.

One crew, one invoice

Chefs, waitrons, tea station, hiring and transport on one itemised quote.

Questions

What organisers ask us.

How much does conference catering cost per delegate?
It adds up by session. Tea and coffee from R65, arrival snacks from R100, a tea break from R100, a lunch buffet from R480 and afternoon snacks from R170, all per person including VAT and our chefs. A full day with everything is roughly R1,000 to R1,200 a head before waiters and transport.
Can you keep to our programme?
Yes. Send us the agenda and we time every service to it. The food is ready before each break starts, so sessions never wait.
Do you cater multi-day conferences?
Yes. We build each day from the same sessions and can change the lunch every day.
What is the minimum number of delegates?
Fifty. Smaller meetings can be a working breakfast or a canapé lunch; ask us.
Do you supply crockery and the tea station?
Tea and coffee comes with disposable cups at R65 or porcelain at R75. A plate and cutlery for the lunch buffet is R30 a head. Everything else, from tables to glassware, is quoted as hiring.
How do you handle delegate dietaries?
Every session has vegetarian options and the bowl food has vegan ones. Send dietaries with the final numbers 14 days out, or use our dietaries link so each delegate fills in their own.
