-
What types of events do you cater for?You name it, we cater it! From laid-back weddings and backyard BBQs to corporate shindigs and elegant soirées, The Food Dude is all about bringing the flavour and fun to any occasion. We’re here to make your event unforgettable, whether it’s for 20 guests or 200.
-
Do you cater for dietary restrictions and allergies?Absolutely! We believe everyone should get a taste of the good stuff. We offer a variety of options for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Just let us know your requirements, and we’ll whip up something delicious that everyone can enjoy.
-
How do I book The Food Dude for my event?Easy as pie (or should we say brisket?). Just head over to our Contact Us page, fill out the form, or give us a call. We’ll chat about your needs, your vision, and how we can make your event sizzle. Once we’ve got the details, we’ll send over a quote and get the party planning started!
-
What’s included in your catering packages?Our packages are as flexible as our BBQ sauce recipes. Generally, you can expect delicious mains, scrumptious sides, and all the essentials to make your event a hit. We also offer options to include staff, cutlery, and even a bit of décor magic. Just let us know what you need, and we’ll tailor a package that’s just right for you.
-
How far in advance should I book?The sooner, the better! Our calendar fills up faster than a BBQ pit on a sunny day. For weddings and large events, we recommend booking at least 6-12 months in advance. Smaller events and parties can often be accommodated with less notice, but it’s always best to check with us as early as possible to secure your date.
-
Can I customise my menu?Heck yes! We love getting creative with our menus. Whether you want to mix and match from our existing offerings or have a completely bespoke feast in mind, we’re all about making your culinary dreams come true. Share your ideas with us, and we’ll cook up something amazing.
-
Do you provide tastings?Of course! We know how important it is to get a sneak peek (or taste) of what’s to come. We offer tasting sessions for larger events and weddings so you can be sure your menu is spot-on. Just reach out to us to schedule a tasting and let’s get those taste buds ready for a treat.
-
How do you handle set-up and clean-up?We’ve got it all covered. Our team will arrive early to set up everything just right and stay late to ensure the clean-up is a breeze. All you need to do is relax and enjoy the feast. We’ll handle the heavy lifting (and the dishwashing).
-
What areas do you serve?We’re based in Lincolnshire and happily travel around to bring the feast to you. If you’re a bit further afield, just give us a holler—we’re always up for a road trip if it means bringing our food to your party!
-
How do you handle payments and deposits?We keep it simple and straightforward. We ask for a 20% deposit to secure your date, with the balance due a month before your event. Payments can be made via bank transfer or card. If you need a payment plan, just let us know—we’re here to make it work for you.
-
Do you have options for kids?You bet! We love catering for the little ones with kid-friendly options that are sure to please even the pickiest eaters. Think mini burgers, cheesy pasta, and fun finger foods that’ll have the kids coming back for more.
-
What if it rains on my BBQ event?No worries, we’re flexible! We can set up tents, move things indoors, or adjust the menu to make sure the weather doesn’t rain on your parade (or your BBQ). We’ve got plenty of tricks up our sleeve to keep the party going, come rain or shine.
