No, due our health standards all items must be prepared and purchased by Culinary Catering in order to meet our health and safety codes. The only item we allow is for the guest to bring their own commercially purchased desserts. We follow the regulations that are set out form the London Middlesex Health Unit.
Our fees are based on a per plate structure based on however many plates the client orders. Due to our strict health standards, we do not leave any leftovers for guests. Although there may be food leftover, this is most often due to the fact we prepare extra servings to ensure all guests are fully satisfied. No leftovers are left at events regardless of the amount left over. We follow strict health standards provided by our local health inspector department, who advises against any leftover food being given at events to protect the safety of our business. By hiring Culinary Catering, the client agrees to this policy.
There are different timelines a Client can provide to us. The approach to a Celebration of Life is different then a Charity Fundraiser or Wedding. The more time into planning the better but we have experience in last moment requests and can execute quickly and still maintain a Client's vision for the event.
