Planner's guide

Best For: Corporate lunches and business meetings, Wedding receptions and celebrations, Private dinner parties, Community events and gatherings

What planners usually like:

  • Direct communication with the catering team means fewer middlemen and clearer understanding of your event requirements and dietary needs
  • Local Edinburgh-based operation provides flexibility for venue coordination and last-minute adjustments specific to the city's venues
  • Focus on reliable service delivery reduces stress during event execution, allowing you to manage other planning details
  • Willingness to work closely with clients suggests customization options rather than one-size-fits-all menu packages

Things to clarify before booking:

  • Confirm whether pricing includes staffing, setup, and breakdown or if these are billed separately—this significantly impacts your total budget
  • Verify minimum guest count requirements and whether they accommodate smaller, intimate gatherings or primarily larger events
  • Discuss their experience with your specific venue type (hotels, community halls, private homes) as logistics vary considerably across Edinburgh locations
  • Ask about their timeline for menu planning, final headcount confirmation, and any seasonal ingredient limitations that might affect availability

Common questions

What's the typical process for getting a catering quote from The Good Table?

You'll need to contact them directly at +44 7792 359119 with details about your event—guest count, date, venue, and dietary requirements. They'll discuss your needs and provide a customized quote based on your specific situation rather than using fixed menu pricing, which allows flexibility but requires direct conversation.

Can they accommodate dietary restrictions and allergies?

Most professional catering companies in Edinburgh can handle common dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies), but you'll need to specify these clearly during your initial consultation. It's essential to provide detailed allergy information in writing and confirm how they manage cross-contamination protocols.

Do they provide service staff or just food delivery?

This is a critical question to clarify before booking, as some caterers provide servers and bartenders while others deliver prepared food only. Contact them directly to understand what's included in your package—this affects both your budget and the overall event experience.

What areas around Edinburgh do they service?

While they're based on Church Street in Edinburgh, clarify their delivery radius and any travel fees for venues outside central Edinburgh. Some caterers have limitations for outer suburbs or neighboring towns, which affects your venue options.

How far in advance should I book The Good Table for my event?

Booking timelines vary by season and event size—they're likely busier during peak wedding season (May-September) and around holidays. Contact them early for preferred dates, especially if you're planning a large event or need service during popular times.

Can they work with specific themes or cuisines for my event?

Their website suggests they focus on quality and reliability, but you'll need to discuss menu options directly. Ask whether they offer cuisine variety (Scottish, international, fusion) and if they can accommodate themed events or work with your own menu ideas.
