Please note for guests who have allergies, we are an open kitchen therefore, although we will put all measures into place to ensure products are kept separate, we cannot guarantee that there won’t be traces.
We always try our best to accommodate and will take all enquiries to the kitchen to see what can be done. If amendments cannot be made, we will suggest alternatives to make sure that all are catered for.
You have a choice to have your items presented on disposable, white melamine or ceramic platters – free of charge! Disposable platters will be automatically chosen unless otherwise specified when placing orders via email or over the phone.
Please note white melamine and ceramic platters will need to be collected; when they are ready for collection, please contact our office and we will arrange for a member of our dispatch team to come and collect them within two business days. If you require collection to be at a specific time and date, please let us know prior delivery so we can make the necessary arrangements.
