Question 1

How does ordering work?

Accepted Answer

Place your order online and add any notes you need (dietary requirements, delivery instructions, preferred time). We prepare the food fresh on the day and deliver it to your workplace in refrigerated vehicles. Items arrive clearly labelled and ready to serve.

Question 2

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and halal options can be prepared separately. We maintain an allergen matrix and label items clearly. Add any specific requirements in the order notes so our kitchen team can prepare the order correctly.

Question 3

Can I amend an order after placing it?

Accepted Answer

If you need to adjust numbers or add delivery notes, contact us as early as possible. Small changes are often possible when received in time, especially delivery instructions and contact details.

Question 4

How much food do I need for an office lunch?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, plan around one lunch portion per person. For longer meetings, consider adding savouries and/or fruit. If you have mixed dietary requirements, add details in the order notes and we will help balance the order.

Question 5

Will my order arrive on time?

Accepted Answer

We plan delivery routes daily across Birmingham. To support on-time delivery, include any time requirements, reception instructions, and site access details in your order notes. If your delivery is time-critical (for example a training session or meeting), include that in the notes.

Question 6

Is the food kept chilled during delivery?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Orders are transported in refrigerated vehicles to keep food chilled from our kitchen to your workplace. Platters arrive ready to serve and clearly labelled.

Question 7

What delivery details should I include to avoid delays?

Accepted Answer

Include the building name, full postcode, reception or entrance instructions, floor or department, a contact name, and a contact phone number if access is difficult. If parking is restricted, include the best drop-off point.

Question 8

Can you deliver to a specific person or department?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add the contact name and internal instructions in the order notes (for example: 'Reception for Sarah in HR' or 'Deliver to Training Room 2'). Clear notes help reduce delays.

Question 9

What happens if nobody is available to receive the delivery?

Accepted Answer

If your site has reception, security, or a designated drop-off point, include this in the order notes. If the building cannot accept unattended deliveries, provide a contact name and phone number so we can avoid delays.

Question 10

What if I need to change delivery instructions after ordering?

Accepted Answer

If you need to update delivery instructions, contact us as early as possible. Updates are more likely to be possible when received before the order is in preparation or out for delivery.
