How our order deadlines work. A deadline only moves the date.
Most caterers publish one cut-off for the whole menu, and it has to be set by whatever takes longest to make. We set it per item, so the quick things stay quick. Below is every deadline we run, live, with the delivery date each one protects and the date it becomes if you miss it.

Where each range stands right now
Every range we run, with the days you can still order for and the time that changes.
What changes next
Read from the ordering system as you load this page. Beat a deadline and the date beside it holds. Miss it and the earliest becomes the date underneath.
You never have to remember any of it
The rules live in the ordering system, not in your head. Four things happen as you order.
Open an item
Its page shows its own deadline and a calendar of the dates it can be delivered.
Pick a date
Dates we cannot make are not selectable. Neither are weekends or public holidays.
Mix freely
With several items in the basket, the item needing the most notice sets the earliest date, and the calendar narrows to match.
Confirm
Your delivery date and time window are recorded on the order and shown back to you.
Why one deadline for everything isn’t kinder
A single cut-off looks simpler on a website. It is simpler for the caterer. It is rarely simpler for the person doing the ordering.
Everything waits for the slowest thing
- ×The deadline has to cover whatever needs the most notice, so every other item is held to the same lead time.
- ×Miss it by ten minutes and the answer is no, with nothing to tell you what you could still have had.
- ×You end up planning around the caterer’s calendar rather than your meeting’s.
Quick things stay quick
- Items we can turn around fast stay orderable well into the afternoon.
- Items made to order keep the notice they genuinely need, without slowing anything else down.
- The calendar only offers dates we can deliver, so a date you can pick is a date you will get.
Choose what you want, and we’ll handle the timing.
The shop only offers dates we can actually deliver, so anything you can put in your basket is something we can make.
