Menu
Canapés
Counters
Late Night
Function by function
Food has to fit around a performance programme, not the other way round. Canapés move during the acts, counters open at the interval, and the snack counters outlive the DJ.
Guest arrival through the first performances
Passed on separate veg and non-veg trays, marked at the tray. Stewards hold position and stop moving during a performance.
The break between performance sets
Counters rather than a buffet, so the room refills fast and returns to its seats before the next act.
After the last performance
Opens once the programme is done. Vegetarian runs as its own counter line rather than a section at the end.
Past midnight, as late as the venue allows
What people actually want at one in the morning, and it holds up better than a reheated buffet. Quoted as additional service hours.
Every function above can be made pure vegetarian, Jain, satvik or vegan on its own kitchen line. Dishes are cooked at your venue rather than transported ready-made.
How it runs
The same eight steps every time, so you always know what is owed and by whom. On the day itself the team is on site well before guests are: four hours on site before service, and six hours for a full wedding spread.
1 · Enquiry
Date, venue and guest count. Nothing else is needed to start.
2 · Written quote
A per-plate quote in writing the same day, itemised by function and counter.
3 · Tasting
Arranged for confirmed enquiries. Spice levels and the dish list are locked here.
4 · Booking
An advance holds the date. The menu can still move; the date cannot be double-sold.
5 · Venue recce
Power, gas permissions, lift and load-in access, and the counter layout plan.
6 · Load-in
Four hours on site before service for a buffet, six hours for a full wedding spread.
7 · Service
One steward per 25 guests on a buffet, one steward per 12 guests when plated, with a named supervisor throughout.
8 · Clearance
Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover before the team leaves.
The package
Cost
These are the same bands quoted everywhere else on this site. The number inside a band moves with the menu, the counter count, the service style and the guest count — not with the page you happen to be reading.

FAQs
Canapés are passed during the performances so nobody leaves the room, and the counters and buffet open at the interval or after the last act. We work to your programme, not to a fixed dinner time.
As late as the venue allows. Frankies, grilled sandwiches and a fries bar are what people actually want at one in the morning, and they hold up better than a reheated buffet.
We supply mixers, ice, garnish, glassware and bar snacks, and a bartender to run the counter. Alcohol is arranged by you or the venue — we do not buy or sell it.
Yes, and it should. Stewards hold position and stop moving through the room during a performance, then resume immediately after. This is agreed with your choreographer or coordinator beforehand.
Never on the same tray. Separate trays, separate stewards for each, and marked at the tray, because a passed canapé is the hardest thing for a guest to check.
Six to ten weeks for October to February weddings and the Diwali corporate season. Outside that, two to three weeks is usually comfortable, and short-notice bookings taken when the kitchen has capacity.
Yes. We arrange a tasting for confirmed enquiries, and the final dish list, spice levels and sweetness are locked after it rather than before. Sharing the date, venue and guest count gets you a written per-plate quote the same day.
Tastings before booking, live counters at your venue, and one supervisor with you all evening.
