All questionsDoes it cost anything to send a request?
No. Sending a request and getting quotes is free. You only pay if you book a caterer.
How much will the food cost?
Each caterer prices their own menu, so it depends on numbers, the food and whether you want staff. You see the full price in each quote before you decide.
How is a booking paid for?
How the booking deposit and balance are paid, and what happens if plans change, will be set out here and in each quote before you pay anything.
Who are the caterers?
Independent catering businesses that cover Blackpool, the Fylde and Preston. We check each one before they can quote: food business registration, food hygiene rating and insurance.
