Common questions

What types of menus does Xanders typically offer for events?

Since Xanders works on a "contact for pricing" basis, they likely customize menus based on your event type, guest count, and budget rather than offering preset packages. Contact them at +44 7896 875550 to discuss whether they specialize in particular cuisine styles or dietary approaches.

Can Xanders accommodate events on weekends, and what's their typical turnaround time?

Xanders operates Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM, so Saturday and Sunday events aren't available. For weekday events, discuss your preferred date when you call—their ability to accommodate depends on their current bookings and how far in advance you're planning.

Do they provide servers and setup, or just food delivery?

This is crucial to clarify before booking. Some catering services provide full service (staff, setup, cleanup), while others deliver food only. Contact them directly to understand what staffing and setup support is included in their pricing structure.

What's the typical guest count range Xanders works with?

Without published package information, Xanders likely works with varying group sizes, but they may have practical minimums. Call to confirm whether they're suitable for your event size—they may be better suited to smaller intimate gatherings or have capacity for larger functions.

How far in advance should I book Xanders for my Edinburgh event?

Standard catering practice suggests booking 2-4 weeks ahead, but Xanders' specific requirements may differ. Contact them early during your planning phase to understand their booking calendar and confirm availability for your target date.

Can Xanders handle special dietary requirements and allergies?

Most professional catering services can accommodate dietary needs, but you'll need to confirm their specific capabilities—whether they can reliably manage multiple allergies, vegan requirements, religious dietary laws, or other restrictions. Discuss this in detail when you contact them.
