How we do it
Drop-off is for the birthday in the backyard, the team lunch and the family reunion at the park shelter. We cook it, pack it, label it and set it on your table.
Hot food comes in insulated carriers and stays hot for about two hours. Ask for disposable chafers and we bring those too, with fuel and a quick how-to.
There is no service charge on drop-off orders, because no staff stay. You pay for food, delivery and tax.
Included every time
- Labels on every tray with the dish and its allergens
- Serving spoons and tongs for every dish
- Plates, napkins and compostable cutlery on request, free
- Setup on your table, with reheating notes if you need them
How every box and tray is labelled.
Allergies and dietary needs
We label every dish with its allergens and cook allergy plates apart. We are not an allergen-free kitchen, so we can't promise zero cross-contact.

Good to know
- Orders for 25 people or more need 48 hours' notice. Smaller orders need 24 hours, by 2 p.m.
- Hot food is safe for about two hours out of the carrier. Leftovers go in the fridge within that time.
- We cannot pick up trays or chafers after the event. Everything we leave is yours to keep or recycle.
