Here are the answers to some of our most commonly asked questions.....

DO YOU MAKE LOCAL HOME DELIVERIES OF SUSHI?

No. We are a catering company who specialise in events - we aren’t a local restaurant!

I CAN ONLY WORK WITH PREFERRED SUPPLIERS / I AM A CATERER MYSELF. CAN I STILL HIRE THE MOBILE BAR?

Of course. We offer the bar on a dry-hire basis where we will deliver and setup the sushi bar for you to use and then come back after the event to collect it. Contact us for further details and pricing.

ARE MY PRODUCTS SAFE IN YOUR kPODS?

Yes, they are completely safe. Once your products are placed inside the the kPods, the displays are bolted onto the conveyor belt.

CAN I ASK MY WAITER / WAITRESS TO STAY FOR EXTRA HOURS ON THE NIGHT?

If you would like the barman to stay for extra time, just agree this with them on the night. We will invoice you for this time in the days after the event. The hourly rate will be the same as the other hours that you have paid for.

HOW MANY CAVIAR / OYSTER GIRLS DO I NEED?

The girls always work in pairs as standard. We recommend two girls per fifty guests.

CAN I ORDER CANAPÉS AND NOT HAVE A CHEF COME ON SITE?

Yes, this is possible however we do not recommend it as the quality and true flavours of the food can become compromised.

No problem, we can bring in a portable oven for the chef to use.
