FAQ
Questions, Answered Honestly
Pricing, booking, logistics, dietary and events — the questions we hear every week, answered in plain language with the actual policy names.
Every answer below names the policy it relies on — the published rate card, the fixed itemised quote, the deposit and cancellation tiers, the travel-zone table. Nothing here contradicts those pages; where a figure matters, the canonical number lives on the pricing and booking-protection pages, and your quote repeats it in writing.

- Ask for the itemised quote before any deposit — we send one by default
- Ask how groceries are billed — ours are at cost, with receipts
- Ask who cooks and who the backup is — every confirmed event has both, named
