Frequently Asked Questions
- How far in advance should I contact a catering vendor like Rocket Food for London events?**
- For premium catering vendors serving London's upscale market, aim to book 8-12 weeks ahead for corporate events and weddings, and longer during peak seasons (spring/summer). This ensures menu availability, staff scheduling, and any customization work can be properly planned and executed. **
- What's typically included in catering quotes versus what costs extra?**
- Base quotes usually cover food, beverages, and basic service staff. Clarify separately: bar service fees, equipment rental (linens/plates/glassware), setup/breakdown time charges, service gratuity percentages, and any venue access fees. Hidden costs often emerge around staffing ratios and equipment needs. **
- How do London catering vendors handle dietary requirements and allergen concerns?**
- Professional caterers maintain detailed records of ingredients and preparation methods. Confirm they have protocols for vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, and allergy-specific meals. Request written confirmation of ingredient sourcing and cross-contamination prevention measures, especially for severe allergies. **
- Can Rocket Food accommodate wine pairings or full bar service for events?**
- Many premium London caterers offer beverage programs, but verify whether they hold alcohol licenses, whether you can supply your own drinks, and whether there are corkage fees. Some venues have exclusive beverage agreements that may limit catering options. **
- What should I expect during a menu tasting before finalizing my event?**
- Tastings typically allow you to sample 3-5 dishes from proposed menus, adjust portions, and discuss plating presentation. Schedule these 2-4 weeks before your event to allow menu finalizations. Confirm whether tastings are complimentary or charged, and whether they're held at their facility or on-site. **
- How does Rocket Food manage setup and service timing for different event formats?**
- Request detailed timelines showing arrival/setup duration, service style (plated/buffet/passed), meal duration expectations, and breakdown timing. Confirm staffing ratios per guest count, especially for complex service styles, and discuss contingencies for delayed guest arrivals or extended events.
