Practical questions
What you want to know before the day.
Do you need a power supply?+
No. Our chafing dishes run on fuel paste, not electricity. Extension leads and outdoor sockets are unnecessary — in a garden, a barn, a hall, or indoors if the weather turns. We adapt to the day.
How much table space do we need?+
For a buffet of six warm dishes plus rice, allow roughly 2 m × 80 cm so the chafing dishes stand in two rows side by side. At 1.20 m it gets tight. A second small table for plates, cutlery, papadom and bread is useful, so those do not sit in the heat.
When do we have to confirm the guest count?+
We need the final number 72 hours before the event. Until then we adjust. The per-person price holds down to 15 guests; below that we would rather talk it through than quote a number that works for nobody.
When do you collect the equipment?+
Late the same evening or the next day — whichever suits you better. You clean nothing and transport nothing.
Can all guests eat the same food?+
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are a full, equal part of the selection, not an afterthought. Our kitchen is entirely halal and alcohol-free. We can prepare the whole buffet lactose-free at no extra charge.
How does payment work?+
By bank transfer before the event or on delivery, as you prefer. You receive an invoice showing VAT and our VAT ID. For short-notice bookings — less than 30 days ahead and up to €750.00 in order value — there is no deposit, and you cancel free up to 72 hours before the event. From 30 days ahead, or above €750.00 in order value, we ask for a 30% deposit, refunded in full up to 30 days before the date; after that a staggered scale applies. The full scale is below under "Deposit and cancellation". The customer remains entitled to prove that no damage, or substantially less damage, has occurred. Dem Kunden bleibt der Nachweis vorbehalten, dass kein oder ein wesentlich geringerer Schaden entstanden ist.

Processing enquiry data
We process the data entered in the form to review your enquiry, prepare a quote and communicate with you about a possible assignment. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (steps before entering into a contract) and, where necessary, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure and traceable business communication).
Recipients, hosting and retention
The website is hosted by Hostinger. Enquiry data is sent to our business email inbox, which is operated by Google (Gmail) — Google Ireland Limited acts as processor, and any transfer to the USA relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and stored as a fail-safe copy in a server area protected against web access. This backup is deleted after 90 days. If the enquiry becomes a quote or assignment, business records may be retained longer where required by law.
