Frequently asked questions

How much does catering cost in Chelmsford?

Every booking is quoted individually, because the price of catering depends on availability, your date, location and travel, how long you need them and your exact requirements. Send us your date and venue and we will come back with clear options. Quotes are free with no obligation.

How big are the wedding venues around Chelmsford?

The venues on our list near Chelmsford hold up to 350 guests, with Braxted Park the largest. For bigger weddings, families often look further across Essex. We cover them all.

Do venues around Chelmsford have sound limits for dhol or music?

Many hotels and country houses set a sound limit or an end time, and some ask for unplugged dhol indoors. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we will check its rules before we confirm anything.

Which postcodes around Chelmsford do you cover?

All of CM1, CM2, CM3 and CM98, including South Woodham Ferrers, Danbury, Hatfield Peverel, Maldon, Writtle and Broomfield, plus the rest of Essex and nearby Billericay, Great Dunmow, Maldon and Brentwood.

When will the team arrive on the day?

The team arrives in good time to set up before your guests arrive, smartly presented and on schedule. Setup time depends on the size of your booking, so we agree access times with your venue in advance and share them with you.

Are your catering partners vetted and insured?

Yes. Every partner is vetted by our team before they are listed. They hold public liability insurance and certificates, carry out risk assessments, and any electrical equipment they bring is PAT tested. Venues often ask for these documents and we can supply them.

How far in advance should I book catering?

For weddings and summer weekends, book as early as you can, ideally several months ahead, as the best dates go first. We can often help at short notice too, so it is always worth asking.

Do you cover Chelmsford and the rest of Essex?

Yes. We book catering in Chelmsford, across Essex and the whole of East of England, for venues, homes and outdoor events.
