Our happy customers
A friend recommended Feast It to me when I was looking into catering for my husband‘s 60th. We had steak frites and a wine van and everyone absolutely loved it, so unique!
When we were planning our wedding, the catering was the part that stressed us out the most. Thankfully I discovered Feast It and that all disappeared!
FAQs
How much will catering cost for our May Ball?
The cost can vary a lot due to how many tickets you are selling and the types of food and drink suppliers you have chosen. Once you have made an enquiry online, we can give you a clearer idea of the cost in the form of a quote. Even though we provide a curated service, the price will not increase.
What’s included by the suppliers?
Our caterers and mobile bars will bring everything they need with them to your ball. This includes their vehicle, stall or gazebo, their produce, their equipment, and the containers that their food or drink comes in. If there are more specific things that you want, such as cups with an image of your college’s coat of arms on them, you might have to provide them yourself! Just ask our suppliers on our online chat system and they can tell you what’s what.
Can the suppliers cater for dietary requirements?
Yes, absolutely. We have a great number of suppliers that cater for dairy-free, gluten-free, halal, kosher, vegetarian and vegan requirements. When you enquire online, let us know which of the above you need accounted for and we will find the suitable suppliers for you.
Can the suppliers serve half portions of food?
Yes! The majority of our suppliers are more than happy to do half portions for your guests. We understand that the students attending a May Ball want to try out as much of the food and drink as they can, so this can be easily organised.
Can the suppliers operate both indoors and outdoors?
Yes! Our street food caterers and mobile bars are happy to be placed outdoors almost anywhere. The size of the outdoor area that they have will dictate whether they bring a van, gazebo or market stall. Many of our suppliers can also serve their food and drink indoors, so just mention how many you’d like to set up inside your college when you enquire online.
We’ve got over 1000 people attending our ball, how quickly can your suppliers serve their food?
Our food caterers and mobile bars are total experts at getting their produce our super speedily, so you can rest assured that your guests will not have to queue for ages to get their hands on a burger or a waffle.
