Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see your question here, feel free to get in touch! We’re happy to help.

How far in advance do I need to book? +
We recommend booking at least 3 weeks in advance to guarantee availability and allow us to source the best ingredients. For weddings and large events, earlier is always better. We do accommodate last-minute bookings where possible, though a surcharge may apply.
Do you offer taste testing? +
Yes — we offer taste testing sessions so you can experience your chosen menu before the big day. This is especially popular for weddings. Contact us after submitting your enquiry to arrange a session.
Can you cater for dietary requirements and allergies? +
Absolutely. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and other dietary requirements. Please note our kitchen handles egg, shellfish, fish, gluten, nuts, soya, dairy and seeds. While we take every precaution to reduce cross-contamination, we cannot guarantee a completely allergen-free environment. Always flag specific allergies when enquiring.
How does payment work? +
We require a 25% non-refundable booking deposit to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 10 days before your event. We accept payment by bank transfer, debit/credit card and online payment portals.
Can I make changes after booking? +
Yes — changes to your menu, guest count or other details can be made up to 10 days before your event (36 hours for delivery orders). Some changes may be subject to availability and additional costs.
What areas do you cover? +
We are based in SE15, South East London and cover events across London and the wider South East — including Kent, Essex, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, East Sussex, Oxfordshire and beyond. Travel fees may apply outside London. Collection is always available from our SE15 kitchen.
Do you charge a late-night or out-of-hours fee? +
Yes — a late-night fee applies to events that extend beyond 10pm or start after 8:30pm. The exact charge depends on duration and will be included in your final quote.
What are your venue requirements? +
We require two 6ft tables for setup and access to an electric socket. For hot food service, a working kitchen on site is preferred — though we can bring additional equipment if needed. Please let your venue know in advance.
Is there an extra charge for venues with stairs? +
An additional fee may apply for venues with multiple flights of stairs or limited access. Please let us know about your venue's accessibility when booking so we can plan accordingly.
Are you insured? +
Yes — The Quirky Oven is fully insured with public liability insurance, covering any incidents related to our services at your event.
What happens to leftovers? +
All leftovers remain the property of the client and can be packaged and left at the event for you to take home.
Do you provide tables, linens and serving equipment? +
Yes — we provide all necessary serving ware, cutlery and plates as part of our service. Table hire is available: basic 6ft table from £35, luxury grazing table from £60. Basic floral arrangements are included; themed florals are available from £150.
