As we are a small company, once we receive your deposit, we block out our diary to make sure your event is out top priority. This means we often have to turn down other catering jobs. If you cancel, we have to account for the loss of other potential sales.

Our cancellation policy is as follows:

Cancellations made 30 days or more prior to your event date will be subject to a full refund.

Cancellations between 7 to 30 days prior to your event date will be subject to a partial refund. The amount will be determined at the time of cancellation.

Cancellations made within 7 days prior to your event date will not be eligible for any refund and EJC holds the right to hold the entire amount paid for your catering order.
