SERVICE AVAILABILITY

Subject to minimum delivery spends, we offer a delivery only service to certain prescribed areas to ensure that our products are at their best when they reach your delivery address. If the delivery address is outside a prescribed delivery area, you will not be able to have our products delivered to you.

When delivering to apartment blocks, flat or hotels, drivers may deliver straight to customers’ doors, or may deliver to the main door/reception area of the building, depending on access and the driver’s knowledge of the local area. If we have attempted and been unable to deliver the food to you and have been unable to contact you, we do not accept any re-delivery request where discount codes have been used and will not remake any new food.

ORDERING

You may only place orders if you are at least 18 years old. By ordering, you warrant that you are at least 18 years old and you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts.

If you place an order via our Sites, you will be presented with confirmation on your screen that your order has been received and accepted. 

You will also receive a text message confirmation and may also receive an email confirmation. Please make sure that the mobile number, email address and home address you provide are correct and in proper working order, as these are required to fulfil your order. 

PRODUCTS

All products are subject to availability. In most cases, we will offer an alternative for any out-of-stock item. 

We have busy working environments and there is a risk of cross-contamination. If you have an allergy we kindly ask that you do not order online. Instead, please telephone us and inform your order-taker directly in full of your allergies.

We do have several options available for vegetarians/vegans which are indicated on our menus. However please note that we do not have a dedicated preparation or cooking area to prepare the vegetarian/vegan food. We shall do our best to minimise risk of cross-contamination.

Great care is taken in the preparation of all our products, however, where applicable, we cannot guarantee that all bones from any meat products have been removed and some may remain and olives may contain stones.

Some products may have been previously frozen. 

Furthermore, the images of our products on our menus and Sites are for illustrative purposes only. Although we try our hardest to be consistent, at times, the products you order may vary slightly from those images.

AVAILABILITY AND DELIVERY

We strive to maintain an excellent reputation for on-time delivery. However, unfortunately, factors outside of our control may occasionally prevent us from achieving this.

We will do our best to fulfil your order in accordance with the date and time confirmed to you at the time of your order. However, these timings are estimates only and we do not guarantee the accuracy of these times. This means that you will not be entitled to cancel your order or claim a refund if your order is not fulfilled by the delivery time. Should you be unsatisfied with your order you can follow the standard process available to all customers and contact us. 

If you have requested the earliest delivery time available, we will do our best to fulfil your order taking into account the volume of orders and circumstances facing us at the time. For a real time update of your order, you can click on the tracker link sent to your mobile number or email address. 

Delivery charges may apply depending on your postal code.

  2. in the case of same day orders and deliveries, within a reasonable time prior to any food being used to start preparing your order.

If you wish to cancel an order after food has been used to start preparing it, you may, at our sole discretion, be charged the full price of the order and receive no compensation. 

 

In the unfortunate circumstance that we need to cancel your order after it has been accepted, we will notify you. We reserve the right to cancel any order, before or after acceptance, and will notify you immediately of any such cancellation.
