Frequently Asked Questions
No matter the venue, whether it’s at home, with one of our partner venues or somewhere new, Frankie and Michelle will guide you through the entire planning process to ensure every detail is covered. At Eat Catering, we provide a full event planning service, designed to help coordinate all the finer details. We’ll use our expertise to tick off all the essential bits and pieces you might have forgotten, from marquees and favours to scouting out bands.
Do you have a set menu, or can you provide a bespoke menu?
We encourage our couples to order from our menus, however if they feel something is missing or have a particular dish in mind, then we are always happy to accommodate this
Can you provide children’s meals?
Yes we can provide children’s meals to those under 10.
When will you need final menu choices?
We require final menu choices 2 months in advance, although the sooner the better.
When will you need final numbers?
We require final numbers no later than 1 month prior to the event, and any dietary requirements or allergies at this point too.
Do you make wedding cakes?
Unfortunately we do not provide wedding cakes.
If not, will you provide cake cutting services?
Yes, we can either cut up your cake to use as dessert alongside some accompaniments that we would provide, and we would charge a small fee for this. Or, if you are having a separate dessert, we can cut it up and pop on the tea and coffee table, or somewhere similar
Do we provide the drinks, or do you?
We are more than happy to provide the drinks for your wedding day, on a sale or return basis. Or we can give you all the quantities you would need to order the drink yourselves, and have it delivered direct to the venue
Are any non-alcoholic beverages included in the food costs?
We include a non-alcoholic welcome drink in our food costs.
Do you provide linens, cutlery, crockery and glassware?
Yes, we include the price of all hire equipment, which as well as all linen and tableware, also includes all kitchen equipment including ovens and refrigeration, all bar equipment, tea and coffee items, glassware etc. You are able to choose the colours of the linens, and the style of the tableware. Bespoke items can be sourced at an additional cost
Will there be an onsite coordinator on the day? Can we meet them ahead of time?
Yes, your planner throughout the process will be your Event Director on the day, and you will have a chance to meet them at tastings and at the site visit.
