10 NUMBERS The high quality of our catering depends on the fact that any event we undertake is separately planned, purchased and cooked. This does mean, however, that we have to have very strict terms regarding numbers. 1) All prices are quoted for a specific number of guests. When numbers drop, our overheads do not reduce proportionally and therefore our menu prices increase. It is important that you read and understand the terms under which we agree to supply catering services. Confirmation of booking our services either in writing or verbally will be taken as acceptance of our quoted charges and these terms. 2) We require confirmation of numbers to be catered and charged for on the Friday before the week of an event (or for Monday and Tuesday functions on the Wednesday before the event). After this date, increase in numbers of up to 10 people can usually be accommodated but no allowances can be made if numbers drop. 3) If the number of guests attending exceeds the numbers booked (and we are able to cater for them) we will charge for the greater number. 4) If the number of guests attending is less than the number booked we will still charge the total number ordered. CANCELLATION Once a particular date is booked we reserve the staff and kitchen time to do that function on that date and we will refuse other events which come in later. Therefore, cancellation charges are payable for any cancellation of a confirmed date. The minimum cancellation charge is 10% of the total estimated cost. This will increase to 20% within two months of the event, 40% within one month of the event and up to 100% within the week. PAYMENT Deposit payments are required from all non-account clients. Payment of a final invoice is required within three weeks after the event. FOOD TASTINGS We are happy to provide food tastings for confirmed events where the expected turnover of the event exceeds 8, In cases where the turnover is less than 8,000.00, or the booking is not confirmed, we will make a charge for the tasting of DAMAGE TO PROPERTY 1) If Party Ingredients property is wilfully or negligently damaged or stolen at a function the replacement cost is payable by the client. 2) If we book premises, a marquee or other property on behalf of the client, the responsibility of security or damage to property will rest with the client. 3) If a client s property is wilfully or negligently damaged by Party Ingredients we will be responsible under our liability insurance. INGREDIENTS Whilst every effort will be made to produce the exact agreed menu we reserve the right to alter a particular ingredient if it is not available. FOOD LEFT OVER It is not our policy to leave left over food as it is never the same the following day. If, however, you wish to keep the food you must ask the event manager in charge on the site. They will then transfer any left overs to your own dishes once the service staff have been fed. ACCESS We require reasonable access to the area of an event in order to deliver and collect our catering equipment. This will include use of lifts to upper floors, use of loading bays and vehicular access. CLEANING UP We always leave an event as neat and tidy as possible and we undertake to completely clean up any kitchen we use. This does not however, mean we will clean the function area. Unless otherwise arranged, rubbish will be neatly bagged up and left for your dustmen to collect.
