We love catering events big and small and therefore do not have minimum or maximum capacity policies and would be happy to accommodate any occasion and size.

How much notice do I need to give you?

We are able to accommodate most events within 48 hours, however there are some items on our menus that do require longer notice. Please, get in touch with us and we will make even the last minute event happen.
