Grazing Table Information

GRAZING TABLE PRICING AND TRAVEL INFORMATION
Our grazing tables are designed and priced to serve as pre-nibbles for your event.
If you plan for the grazing table to be the main and only food offering, we strongly recommend selecting a larger table size or considering add-on options. This ensures there is sufficient food to accommodate all your guests. We advise against choosing a table that is smaller than your anticipated guest numbers, as this may result in inadequate catering for your event. Travel fees may apply for locations outside of the Sunshine Coast Region. If your event is being held in an area beyond this region, please contact us directly for more information regarding any applicable travel charges.

GRAZING TABLE SETUP REQUIREMENTS
Our team requires 1 to 3 hours to set up your grazing table, depending on its size and complexity.
To ensure food remains fresh, safe, and visually appealing, the table must be placed in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight and protected from rain, from our arrival until the end of your event. These requirements help us maintain the highest standards of food safety and presentation for your event. Please note: Once setup has commenced, the table cannot be moved until we have completed our service and departed. If the table must be relocated during the event, this will be the client’s responsibility; however, we do not recommend moving the table, as this may compromise food safety and presentation. We kindly request access to a power outlet upon arrival, If your venue does not have a power source, please let us know ahead of time so we can arrange alternatives.

WEATHER CONTINGENCY To ensure the safety and freshness of your grazing table, we strongly recommend preparing a backup plan for unpredictable weather conditions or unusually high temperatures. Depending on the season and forecast, it may be necessary to relocate the table indoors, ideally in a space with air conditioning, to maintain optimal food quality and safety. If your event is affected by adverse weather, such as intense heat, rain, or thunderstorms, it is crucial to move the grazing table inside or place it under adequate shelter. Taking these precautions will safeguard the food from environmental hazards and help prevent any interruptions to your celebration, ensuring your guests enjoy a memorable experience.

TABLE, TABLEWARE AND SERVING WARE DETAILS

The ECO Table package includes a selection of environmentally friendly serving ware and accessories designed to support sustainability and guest convenience. Specifically, this option provides plates, serviettes, paddle sticks, small spoons, bamboo tongs, and wooden knives. These items are chosen for their compostable nature, aligning with eco-friendly event practices. Please note that table hire is not included in the ECO Table package. Additionally, shoo flies, cheese knives, and food covers are not provided. If you require cheese knives or food covers, we kindly ask that you supply your own for the event.

For FLAT LAY & DELUX Table bookings, the package is more comprehensive. Included are table hire and an assortment of refined wooden or marble boards to enhance the presentation. Cheese knives and crockery are provided, along with environmentally friendly plates, serviettes, paddle sticks, small spoons, and bamboo tongs. To maintain food safety and presentation standards, shoo flies are supplied with the FLAT LAY & DELUX Table package.


DIETARY REQUIREMENTS, QUALITY AND AVAILABILITY
Our platters are made using quality produce and are influenced by seasonal variations and product availability. We strive to provide fresh and appealing selections, but please note that certain items may be substituted based on what is seasonally available at the time of your event. If you or your guests have specific dietary requirements, it is important to notify us in advance. Please be aware that additional fees may apply for accommodating particular dietary needs, as special selections or substitutions may be necessary to meet these requirements.

FOOD ALLERGIES 
We would like to advise that we do not cater for food allergies of any kind. Our menu items may contain ingredients that could trigger allergic reactions, and we cannot guarantee the absence of allergens. Guests with food allergies should exercise caution when consuming our menu offerings.

DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT TERMS
To secure your booking, a deposit equal to 40% of the total quoted amount is required. This deposit, along with formal acceptance of the provided quote, is necessary to confirm your reservation. Please note that booking dates will not be held or guaranteed until both the deposit has been received and the quote has been accepted.

The invoice you receive will include clear payment instructions.
Our preferred method of payment is direct bank transfer; however, card payments will also be accepted for your convenience. It is important to note that full payment for your event is required no later than two weeks prior to the scheduled event date. Failure to make payment by this deadline may result in the cancellation of your booking, and your deposit may be forfeited as a result.

FINAL GUEST NUMBERS, DIETARY REQUIREMENTS, AND CHANGES
To ensure we can cater to your event effectively, it is essential that you advise us of any changes to your final guest numbers and dietary requirements at least two weeks prior to the event date. This advance notice allows us to make the necessary arrangements and guarantee a smooth experience for all attendees. Please note that any changes requested after the two-week deadline will not be accepted. Providing timely updates helps us maintain our high standards of service and ensures all your needs are met without disruption.


TABLE COMPLETION
For the freshest and most inviting presentation, we kindly ask that table completion time is within 15 minutes of your guests’ arrival. Our dedicated team will take care of the entire setup process, ensuring every detail is just right for your event. Once everything is in place, we’ll notify you or your nominated on-site contact, providing a brief overview of the setup and sharing any essential details to help your event run smoothly. We truly appreciate your cooperation and trust in us, and we’re committed to making your grazing experience seamless and enjoyable. After the event, the responsibility for cleanup and packing up the remaining items rests with you, unless you choose our optional cleanup service. To make this easy, we’ll email you a comprehensive cleanup and pack-up guide before your event. The guide covers important steps such as safe food disposal, proper care for platters and serveware, and tips for restoring the area to its original condition. If you’d prefer to relax and let us handle the post-event details, our team can provide a complete cleanup service for $300. This includes clearing away all leftover food, packing up platters and serveware, and restoring the grazing area so you can enjoy your celebration worry-free. Please note, terms and conditions apply.

Consumption Timeframe: For optimal freshness and safety, please consume food from the grazing table within one hour if the temperature is above 25°C (77°F), or within two hours if it is cooler. After this period, promptly remove any remaining food from the table to maintain food safety for your guests.

CLEAN-UP AND PACK-UP

For the ECO Table, all serveware and tableware are compostable, making clean-up straightforward and environmentally friendly. After your event, simply dispose of the used items in compost bins to ensure a minimal impact on landfill waste. The layer of food safe brown paper placed beneath the food can also be composted, streamlining the pack-up process.

For FLAT LAY & DELUXE Table, please remove any remaining food from the boards, crockery, and props. Once cleaned, place these items back into the provided crates or containers. Washing the boards is not required, as our process does not necessitate it. To assist you, we will send a detailed guide outlining the clean-up procedure via email prior to your event, and a printed copy will be available on the day. If you prefer, our team can provide a clean-up and pack-up service for an additional fee, subject to terms and conditions. Collection of tables and equipment will be arranged for a mutually agreed-upon time. All equipment should be packed securely and placed in a designated location that is safe and protected from adverse weather conditions. This ensures the integrity of our items until pick-up, which is included in your quoted price. Please provide the name and telephone number of the responsible person for clean-up and pack-up at least two weeks before your event. This individual should be familiar with the process to ensure a smooth transition.

WEDDINGS, EVENTS & VENUES If you wish to nominate event planners, coordinators, or venue managers to correspond with us and oversee the clean-up and pack-up process, it is essential that they have read and understood our terms and conditions. Alternatively, you may provide their contact details to us so we can communicate with them directly. Please ensure that your designated personnel specify the desired location of the grazing table upon our arrival. In addition, venue owners must be informed of our intention to retrieve our equipment at the agreed-upon time and day. Clear communication on these matters helps ensure a smooth and successful event experience for everyone involved.
