Q. How long does it take to initiate a dinner party? A. The booking has to be at least
2 weeks in advance, this allows time for a meeting to create your special menu and
discuss any special requirements needed. Q. How many guests can I have at my dinner
party? A. The maximum amount of guests depends on your home, Professional Dinner
Parties prefer no more than 10 people due to the amount of work that is required
but a suitable kitchen, fridges and space are also a factor. Q. How Much is a dinner
party going to cost? A. That depends on the menu you want. A 4 course meal will cost
in the region of £35 per head. More complex menus up to 7 courses are available and
have to be quoted individually. Q. What happens when i have made my booking? A. You
will pay the chef a deposit to cover all ingredients, the day before your party
SJR will ring to confirm the time of arrival. On the day SJR will turn up with printed
menus for all guests, explain any questions you and your guests might have then
serve your food.
Q. What about waiter/waitress hire? A. A waiter/waitress will have to be booked at
the same time as the dinner party. There is no extra deposit to pay. They will turn
up at the arranged time, set your table, serve the food and drinks and clear up untill
you no longer require their services. Q. To what time is it considered late for the
chef to stay? A. Past 11pm the chef will make a small charge for staying. This will
only happen on rare occasions when the time of a dinner party is later than usual.
This does not apply to the waiting staff.
