These terms apply to all catering services provided by Helen’s Catering (Sydney Wide Mobile Catering, trading as Helen’s Catering Professionals). By submitting a menu or booking form you accept these terms.

Fully catered events

  • Quotes are generated from your selected menu and guest numbers and are valid for 14 days.
  • Pricing is per head unless stated otherwise. Beverages and staffed service are quoted separately.

Bookings and confirmation

  • Your date is secured when we receive your signed booking form and deposit.
  • Final guest numbers are due no later than seven (7) days before your event. Decreases after this point are charged as originally booked.

  • Within 14 days of the event: 50% of the total is payable.
  • Within 72 hours of the event: the full amount is payable.

On the day

  • We require clear access to the serving area at the agreed time, plus access to power and water where the menu requires it.
  • Our staff observe responsible service of alcohol (RSA) requirements at all events serving beverages.
  • Food is prepared and transported under food-safety standards. For safety reasons, uneaten perishable food cannot be re-served and remains the host’s responsibility after service.

Liability

  • We hold current public liability insurance.
  • Allergies: our food is prepared in kitchens that handle nuts, gluten, dairy, seafood and other allergens. While we take care with dietary requests, we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment. Please flag all allergies when booking.

  • Ezy DIY orders are confirmed on payment in full at time of order.

  • Changes to orders are accepted up to seven (7) days before delivery, subject to availability.
  • Cancellation terms above apply to Ezy DIY orders from confirmation.
