Payment Policy

Terms & Conditions

Clear, transparent terms so your event planning is stress-free from start to finish.

In order to avoid any misunderstandings regarding reservations, the following are our terms of trading. In choosing Tastebuds Catering as your Function Specialist, you are deemed to have accepted these terms and conditions.
A 50% deposit of the final price needs to be made to secure your function and date. This confirms your booking and allows us to begin planning your bespoke menu and logistics.
Final payment needs to reflect in the Tastebuds account two days before the function day. This ensures all preparations proceed smoothly and on time.
Tastebuds reserves the right to require full payment before any services are rendered. We will communicate clearly if this applies to your booking.
Should a booking be cancelled two weeks or less prior to the function, the client will be held liable for the full amount. We recommend event cancellation insurance for peace of mind.
2 days (48 hours) prior to the function no changes will be accepted. This includes catering numbers, final details on timing, food selection and special instructions.
We do not accept liability for any failure to provide the service contracted which are due to circumstances beyond our control, including electricity and water failures or fire alarm evacuation.
