FAQs

I typically book at least 1-2 months in advance, depending on the season. I receive multiple

requests, so I can’t guarantee a date until it is booked with a deposit. Once an estimate is sent

out I will let you know if another client becomes interested in that date. At that point I will extend

to you a 48 hour grace period to confirm your booking.

I require a 25% booking deposit for functions, then the next 50% two weeks before the event

and the balance is paid the day after the event, for any final staffing or incidental costs.

There is a minimum of at least $750 per caterring event. For the Bistro Tour, the price is fixed for a group of 6, with per person extra charges for up to 8 people.

I can still cater your event! I have a Public Health inspected and approved Food Truck that can

come on site. It is fully equipped and is powered with a quiet generator.

This is discretionary depending on the event.

I accept cash, cheque, credit card and interac e-transfer to chef@chefscottyates.com.

I offer Full Service Catering (Plated Dinners/Buffets/Food Truck Functions) with staffing, if required. I can also arrange for any rentals.

I offer Cooking Classes, Consulting, Menu Development, Retail Products and Culinary

Excursions on the Bistro Tour Food Truck

“Gratuity is something that's earned, not expected and not automatically charged”

Therefore, this is totally up to the client.

Any leftovers will be packaged up and left with you. I can use your own containers or use my

eco-friendly ones for a minimal charge.

Final numbers are due 2 weeks before your special event so that the proper amount of local

product can be ordered.

We don't offer any rain for our events. However, if by chance there is, umbrellas are available to

go into and from your chosen destinations. Food/pairings will be served on the Bistro Tour bus to make things safe, dry and comfortable.

There is a set cutoff order date on the website. If you are past that date, please email me at

chef@chefscottyates.com to see if there is still any availability. An email will go out to you

regarding pickup/delivery details two days before along with any reheating or assembly

instructions.

Absolutely. Please let me know in advance of any dietary requirements to make everyone enjoy

#WhatLoveTastesLike

LOVE is the main ingredient that I cook with. It's what goes into everything I do; local producers,

farmers and collaborators. It's what makes what I do so special to myself and to everyone else.
