What planners usually like:
- Seven-day-a-week availability with consistent 9 AM–9 PM hours removes scheduling conflicts and allows flexible event timing
- Local Edinburgh base means shorter setup/breakdown times and better understanding of venue logistics across the city
- Extended operating hours accommodate both daytime events and evening functions without requiring premium after-hours fees
- Direct phone contact (+44 131 644 0302) allows quick clarification on menu customization and dietary requirements
Things to clarify before booking:
- Request detailed pricing breakdown for your guest count and menu selections, as rates aren't published online—this prevents budget surprises
- Confirm what's included in their service model (staffing, equipment rental, setup/cleanup, service style) to understand total costs
- Discuss minimum guest counts and any cancellation policies, particularly important for events more than 2-3 months out
- Ask about their experience with your venue's kitchen facilities and any specific load-in/load-out restrictions they've encountered
Common questions
Can The Edinburgh Catering Company accommodate dietary requirements and allergies?
Most professional catering services manage common dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher), but you'll need to contact them directly at +44 131 644 0302 to discuss your specific requirements and confirm their protocols for allergen handling and ingredient sourcing.
What's the typical lead time needed for booking catering services?
While this varies by event size and menu complexity, most caterers recommend 4-8 weeks' notice for events under 200 guests and 8-12 weeks for larger functions. Contact them early to discuss your event date and confirm availability.
Do they provide staff and serving services, or just food delivery?
Catering companies offer different service levels—some provide full staffing, others deliver food only. You'll need to confirm what's included in their quote, as this significantly impacts both cost and your event execution.
Are there additional charges for weekend or evening events?
Since they operate the same hours every day (9 AM–9 PM), weekend and evening rates may be consistent year-round. Ask specifically about any peak-time surcharges or premium pricing for Saturday/Sunday bookings.
Can they work with my existing venue, or do they have preferred locations?
Most Edinburgh caterers work with various venues, but some have restrictions based on kitchen access or parking. Provide your specific venue details when inquiring to confirm they've catered there before and understand any logistical constraints.
What menu options should I ask about when first contacting them?
Request information on their standard menu packages, whether they offer customization, pricing per person for different menu tiers, and any seasonal or signature dishes that might suit your event theme.
