Question 1

Whereabouts are you based?

Accepted Answer

We're based in Old Woking, in Surrey.  Our caravan is vintage so she can travel up to about 50 miles.  However, with enough notice, we can travel further for private events and some public events, so do ask us as our travel is dependent on how the caravan is feeling and how many other bookings we have.

Question 2

Do you cater for guests with allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can accommodate most requests.  For people with nut allergies, however, we do need to warn you that we use nuts in the kitchen so there may be traces even if we try to bake nut free.  Please chat to us about it if you are unsure.  Gluten free baking is also possible but may incur a small extra charge due to the cost of ingredients.  Do contact us though because cost depends on the size of your party and the number of guests requesting gluten free products.  We especially love vegan baking for anyone with a dairy or egg intolerance.

Question 3

What is the range of guests you can cater for?

Accepted Answer

We can cater for any number of guests from 2 to 100. Pricing varies based on the size of your party.

Question 4

What types of events can you cater for?

Accepted Answer

We are happy to consider any type of event.  So far some of the events we have catered for are: a funeral, a baby shower, a children's birthday party, an adult 80s themed party, a 60th wedding anniversary, a 70th birthday party, an intimate afternoon tea for a group of friends, and a family celebration after a registry office wedding.

Question 5

Are you available during the week?

Accepted Answer

Yes, weekdays are quieter than weekends and so you can book a weekday event more easily than a weekend.  You will need to book about 6 months in advance for a weekend.

Question 6

Do you make all the baked goods yourself?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we bake and decorate all our cakes and scones ourselves, as close to the event as possible. We also make our own jams, which means you might find some unique flavors like fuchsia berry jam.

Question 7

Can I hire crockery from you?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have a lot of crockery and we love to see it being used.  We have enough for 100 guests including cutlery.  We deliver locally, collect and wash up. Visit our vintage crockery hire page for more details.

Question 8

How do I book your services?

Accepted Answer

Send us a message via our contact form with as many details as possible of your plan, venue and date. We will call you to discuss your requirements so we can give you a quote.

Question 9

Will you come to a venue we have already chosen?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we will come to wherever you decide to have your party whether it is in a church hall, in your garden, or on a driveway.  We don't mind where it is.  Over the past 5 years we have catered in several gardens, on a London driveway, in a community centre, in woods, to mention a few.  We will always try to visit your venue in advance to work out access and see the facilities before the event.  Best of all, we will set up and clear up for you.
