Epicurean Feast would like 24 hour notice for all typical catering orders. We would appreciate 48 hours for orders involving hot prepared entrée. Epicurean Feast understands that last minute orders occur, and as always, we will do our absolute best to accommodate your catering and event needs.

Please place your online orders as early as possible to ensure timely processing. Please place your orders no later than 3:00 p.m. the day prior. (Some hot menu item may require longer notice). After 3:00 p.m., we cannot guarantee product selection or delivery. Same day delivery may not be possible and we would inform you when delivery could be made. Please note that our hot food and hors d’oeuvres orders must be made 24 hours prior to your event date. Our delivery hours start as early as 5:00am. Our office hours are 6:00am-3:00pm Monday through Friday, therefore, orders placed late Friday or over the weekend will not be received in our office until Monday morning. Your order is not confirmed until we have contacted you to arrange for delivery and confirm your event information.

DELIVERY CHARGES

ORDER CHANGES AND CANCELLATIONS

We would like 48 hour advance notification of cancellation, we may be able to cancel any orders if we have not completed the order. If there are costs incurred as a result of your cancellation, client will be billed for those costs and not the entire cost of the event. Please call us to cancel a last minute order. Do not email or fax last minute cancellations. Clients must speak directly to one of our catering coordinators, any message to a staff member or on our voice mail is not a valid cancellation. Any late changes (less than 24hrs) to an original order can be made on-line by logging into your account. Late order changes may not be fulfilled, it depends on our kitchen schedule that day. Your changes are not confirmed until we have contacted you either by email or a phone call from our event coordinators to confirm your changes.

FOOD LEFTOVER POLICY

It is our policy that any leftover food will be discarded after the event. We will leave or pack leftovers that are safe to consume (leftover cookies/brownies and can beverages), if the client requested before hand. We do not recommend serving leftovers after the event as we cannot anticipate how long leftover food has been held at unsafe temperatures, nor are we qualified to evaluate the condition of the leftover food. Under no circumstances can leftover food be given to guests. The client will assume full responsibility for any liability as a result from consuming leftover food after the event.
