Jolly Good Events

Our menus and events are always bespoke, and we curate the event after carefully understanding and considering your needs and wants, hence the process may vary quite a bit with each element for its exclusivity and execution. Its best to discuss it over an arranged meeting with my team who can then prepare a working projected costs and will confirm back after all points have been accounted for a final quote submission.

After a site-visit beforehand, we can confirm the feasibility of the event. Some venues only allow certain caterers, while other venues may charge you extra for choosing caterers that aren’t on their list of favourite caterers. Make sure you speak with your venue to avoid extra expenses! We do both on-premises catering, where food is prepared and served at the event venue, and off-premises catering, where food is prepared at a separate location and transported to the event venue.

From an exclusive corporate dinner of 10 to socials of over 1000 guests, we have the capacity of executing finer to larger social events rolling up to a few days too.

Along with my team and over 3 decades of my culinary career has spanned between 4 continents and during this time I have been responsible for Western, Asian, European, Mediterranean and popular regional Indian cuisines too. When need be, with my chefs connect, we can bring on international chefs’ par excellence too. I personally love showcasing, authenticity, eclectic, live cooking with interactive stations which offers greater gustatory & sensory experiences.

We don’t do fixed packages as it limits the experience; however we craft it as per your desire, it’s bespoke and made to your specifications. This will allow you to decide what items you can incorporate into your menu. If you prefer flexibility or versatility in your food options, you can go to surprise your guests!

We suggest a week heads up to receive the final guest count for our teams to deliver a smooth event flow especially when it’s a plated and a sit-down event. A variance of 10-12 % in case of buffet set up can be catered to with a short notice of 3 days.

We are flexible and open to hear your suggestions and believe that’s it’s the best way to collaborate with your options and add a little creative and experiment with exciting different food ideas too.

We are qualified, knowledgeable and are willing to arrange special food for a few of your family or friends due to allergies or lifestyle choices, kindly share this whilst discussing the events menus options as this will help us to accommodate and prepare these customized dishes.

We can arrange for specialists in wedding cakes.

We can arrange varied types of tableware, glassware and others as needed.

We have qualified and experienced bartenders and  mixologists to make sure your guests have a great time.

Toddlers & children aged under 6 are free, children aged between 7-12 half price and over 12 years old, its full.

Depending on the set up and décor expected, this may vary from 24hrs heads up and similar for breaking down. However, smaller event formats may take max 6-8 hrs each.

I recommend and appreciate the opportunity of tasting and experiencing the food we intend to serve. This allows for us to showcase the samples over the taste panel, followed with a 2-way discussion and agreement to committing to what will finally be served at the event. During this taste-panel we also take the opportunity to understand your expectations and recommend best, based on our expert experiences. We charge the basic costs for the taste panel, and this gets adjusted when the event is finalised. We generally invite 4 for tastings.

We appreciate 25% on signing the contract followed with 50%  of the payment 4 weeks before the event and the 25% balance a week before the event. Extras, consumption on actuals or as per agreed pre-pricing menu is requested to be paid at the end of the event. With the scale and registration date of the event, the payment structure can change, hence its best to confirm this during the meeting.

Its best to discuss this during the event meeting phase. With the scale of the event this policy changes, however, if cancelled a month in advance for a mid-sized event there is a 25% retention. 50% up to 3 weeks of the event. 75% up to 2 weeks to the event and 100% if its within 1 week. In certain situations, we can agree on adjusting the prepaid amount for a future date of the event (details to be discussed).
