Kalm queries

There’s no such thing as a “silly” question!

Our team are here to answer any you may have, but here are a few that we often hear.

Ask us a question

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you cover?

We can be wherever your event is in the UK, and our preparation kitchen, warehouse and headquarters are based just outside of London in Puttenham, Surrey.

So, whether it’s Glastonbury festival glamping, a marquee marriage on a farm or a product launch in a city skyscraper, we’re there for you.

What information do I need before I make an enquiry?

When and where is a good start, but we are happy to talk and build a profile of your event together.

Is everything included in your prices?

Yes! We know planning an event or a wedding can be hugely complicated and it’s easy for surprise costs to come up that aren’t welcome.

We’ve tried to make everything simple and clear when it comes to our menus and prices. In our menus, you’ll have a very clear guide as to what’s included and what additional experiences and services are extra if you want to personalise your event further.

And of course, our team will be on hand throughout, so there are never any surprises.

How much notice do you need?

We can be pretty flexible and are happy to consider any briefs, but the earlier you let us know, the earlier we can reserve the date for you and start planning.

For weddings, these are frequently planned and reserved 12-24 months in advance, whilst we can respond to requests for private and corporate events within a week sometimes – please let us know.

Can you accommodate guests with dietary requirements or allergies?

Our team of professional chefs and event managers are all trained in allergens and where we are made aware of an allergy or food intolerance we take care to cater for them. However, we use all known allergens in our production and venue kitchens and cannot guarantee that our food is free from any known allergen, so please inform us of any allergies or intolerances during the planning process. 

How can I get in touch?

Call us on 01483 813360 or send us an enquiry and one of the team will contact you.

Do I have to use a recommended venue?

We partner with many beautiful venues as well as catering in marquees, private homes and gardens, offices and showrooms, festivals and exhibition sites. If you have chosen a venue that is not on our list, let us know as many venues are flexible.

His love of cooking began while Jen and he were working in Australia during their gap year. On their return to the UK, James trained with a leading international event caterer before setting up Kalm Kitchen.
