Things to clarify before booking:

  • Ask about their equipment provision (serving ware, chafing dishes, linens) and whether they handle breakdown/cleanup after service

Common questions

Does Holocene offer menu tasting sessions before finalizing my event catering order?

Contact them directly during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM) to inquire about tasting availability and procedures. Many Toulouse catering services offer tastings for events above a certain guest count, but policies vary. It's worth asking about their minimum order requirements and whether tastings require advance booking or fees.

What's included in their catering service—just food, or also serving staff and equipment?

You'll need to clarify this explicitly when contacting them. Typical catering packages might include food preparation and delivery, but serving staff, plates, utensils, and linens are often charged separately. Call +33 5 32 74 08 33 to get a detailed breakdown of what their standard packages include versus optional add-ons.

How much advance notice does Holocene require for catering orders?

This depends on guest count and menu complexity. Contact them to understand their booking timeline—rush orders may have surcharges or limited menu options. Corporate clients often book 2-4 weeks ahead, while larger events may require longer lead times.

Can Holocene accommodate guests with specific dietary restrictions or allergies?

Absolutely worth confirming directly, as handling allergies requires documented protocols. When you call, provide a complete list of dietary needs and restrictions your guests have. Ask how they document and prevent cross-contamination during food preparation.

Are there additional charges for delivery outside their immediate Toulouse area?

Since they work "throughout the city," delivery costs likely vary by distance and venue accessibility. Clarify their service radius, whether delivery is included in quoted prices, and what fees apply for venues in outer Toulouse districts or surrounding areas.

What happens if we need to adjust guest count closer to the event date?

Ask about their modification policy—specifically, how many days before the event you can increase or decrease headcount without penalties. Understanding cancellation terms and final headcount deadlines helps avoid unexpected charges.
