How booking works

    Send the date, the number of guests or people to feed, and anything you can't eat.

  2. Get a menu and a price

    Joseph replies with a menu built around your event or your week, and a written quote.

  3. Hold your date

    A 50% deposit holds a catering date. Meal prep starts with a short questionnaire on tastes and goals.
