Planner's guide
Best For: High-end weddings at prestigious venues, corporate gala dinners and fundraising events, private celebrations at luxury locations, destination events requiring sophisticated culinary execution
What planners usually like:
- Established track record at recognized luxury venues (British Museum, The Shard) reduces venue coordination friction and demonstrates operational reliability
- Bespoke menu customization rather than fixed packages allows flexibility to match event themes, dietary requirements, and guest preferences
- Technical culinary expertise (oak-smoking, sautéed preparations) suggests kitchen capability beyond standard catering, useful for creating memorable dining experiences
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm minimum guest count requirements and whether pricing scales differently for 50 vs. 500+ person events
- Verify staffing model—do they provide service staff, bartenders, and kitchen team, or is that additional cost, and what's their ratio of staff to guests
- Request specific venue experience list and any venue restrictions they've navigated (load-in times, kitchen facilities, service limitations)
- Clarify timeline for menu consultation, tastings, and final confirmations, especially for events requiring specialized procurement of ingredients
Common questions
How far in advance should we book Rocket Food for a large wedding or corporate event?
Luxury catering companies managing high-profile venues typically require 3-6 months advance notice for detailed planning. Given Rocket Food's work at prestigious locations, confirm their lead time requirements early, especially for events requiring custom sourcing or complex menu components like smoked proteins.
What's included in their catering pricing, and what costs are separate?
Standard questions to ask: Does per-person pricing include staff service, rentals (linens, plates, glassware), bar service, and kitchen equipment? Are tastings included in the quote, and how many revisions are permitted? Understanding this breakdown prevents surprise invoices closer to your event date.
Can Rocket Food accommodate multiple dietary requirements and cultural preferences in one event?
Request examples of how they've handled diverse dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, allergies, religious restrictions) in multi-course menus. Ask whether menu modifications incur additional charges and whether they source specialty ingredients locally or internationally.
Do they have experience catering in your specific venue, and what's their process for venue walkthroughs?
If your venue isn't on their standard list, ask about flexibility and any additional fees for unfamiliar spaces. Venue walkthroughs are essential for understanding load-in, kitchen access, power supply, and service flow—confirm whether they conduct these independently or require your presence.
How do they handle service style, and can they adapt to different formats?
Clarify whether they offer plated service, butler-passed hors d'oeuvres, family-style, or buffet options. Ask about their experience with unconventional service setups (standing cocktails with heavy appetizers, multiple food stations, late-night dessert bars).
What's their process if a menu item becomes unavailable due to sourcing issues?
Understand their contingency plan for specialty items (seasonal ingredients, specific fish preparations). Do they offer alternatives in advance, or communicate substitutions last-minute? This matters when you've promised guests specific dishes.
