FAQs

Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about private dining with & Butter.

Do you offer set menus?

Every menu is tailored exclusively for your event. Together we'll create a menu shaped around the season, your tastes and the style of dining you'd like to enjoy.

2

Can I request specific dishes or ingredients?

Absolutely. Whether there's a favourite ingredient, a memorable dish or something you'd prefer to avoid, your menu is designed around your preferences while remaining balanced, seasonal and cohesive.

3

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Dietary requirements and allergies are discussed during the planning process, and every reasonable effort is made to accommodate them. As meals are prepared in private homes, it isn't possible to guarantee an allergen-free environment.

4

How is pricing structured?

Each event is quoted individually, reflecting the menu, guest numbers and style of service. Following an initial conversation, you'll receive a personalised proposal with everything clearly outlined.

5

Is service included?

From preparation through to clearing the kitchen afterwards, the aim is to create a seamless experience so you can spend time with your guests rather than worrying about hosting. Additional service, including wine pairing or front-of-house support, can be arranged if required.

6

What can I expect on the day?

I'll arrive in plenty of time to prepare and finish your menu, serve each course and leave the kitchen clean and tidy afterwards, so you can simply relax and enjoy the occasion.

7

Do you provide crockery and glassware?

Unless agreed in advance, dining takes place using your existing crockery, cutlery and glassware. If you'd like to hire additional tableware or linens, I'm happy to discuss options.

8

How many guests can you cater for?

Most events are intimate gatherings around the table, although I'm always happy to discuss larger celebrations.

9

What areas do you cover?

Based in Bristol, & Butter serves clients across the South West and beyond by arrangement.

10

Can you cater for special occasions?

Absolutely. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, engagement or simply bringing friends together, every menu is thoughtfully designed to reflect the occasion and create an experience that feels personal, relaxed and memorable.
