Frequently Asked Questions

Grazing boxes need at least 48 hours. Grazing tables need a minimum of 7 days. The charcuterie cart and larger catering packages need 7 to 14 days depending on the size of your event. This gives us time to source the freshest produce and prepare everything properly.

Last minute orders are subject to availability, but we will always try to make it work. Call 0421 123 594 or email info@curedcravings.com.au and we will tell you what is possible.

Grazing tables, catering and the Bagel Bar can all be booked through the forms on our website. Choose your size or guest count, add anything extra, and submit. We reply within 24 hours with confirmation and an invoice.

If your event is complex or you are not sure what you need, call us and we will work it out with you.

We recommend 3 to 5 weeks minimum, and earlier for weddings. Weekends, school holidays and the Christmas period book out months ahead. If you have a date in mind, reach out now even if the details are not settled.

Yes. Colour palettes, serving styles, specific ingredients and dietary accommodations are all possible. Tell us what you have in mind when you book and we will tailor it.

We review every booking personally and respond within 24 hours to confirm details and send your invoice. A deposit locks in your date. After that we handle everything.

Our reply occasionally lands in junk or spam. If you have not heard from us within 24 hours, check there or call us.

Minor changes such as dietaries, guest numbers or small additions can usually be made up to 5 days before your event. Larger changes like table size or event date depend on availability and may affect pricing. Contact us as early as you can.

Delivery starts at $50 for locations within 10km of Eastgardens, with an additional $25 for every 5km beyond that. Your exact fee is confirmed when we process your booking, always before you pay anything.

Yes, and pickup is free. We are in Eastgardens, NSW 2036. Confirm your pickup time when you book so everything is ready. Grazing tables that require setup cannot be picked up.

We service all of Greater Sydney. For events further out, travel fees may apply. Include your venue location when you book and we will confirm any additional cost upfront.

We arrive 1 to 2 hours before your event, depending on the size and style of your table. Flat lay tables are quicker; staged and luxe tables take longer because of the boards, risers and styling. Exact timing is confirmed when we finalise your booking.

A table or bench of the right length, out of direct sunlight. That is all. If your venue does not have one, we hire tables for $70 each.

On hot days we strongly recommend setting up indoors or in full shade. For outdoor events, have a covered backup plan.

No. Everything arrives prepared and we set up on site without power, water or kitchen access. We only need space to work and somewhere to park nearby for unloading.

Following NSW Health guidance, cheeses can sit safely at room temperature for up to four hours and cured meats for around two. In a warm room, direct sun or outdoors in heat, that window shortens considerably.

We recommend setting up in a shaded, cool spot and serving within the first two hours for the best experience.

Flat lay tables are set directly onto food safe parchment paper with fresh foliage throughout. Clean up is simply rolling up the paper and discarding it, so there is nothing to return.

Staged and luxe tables include boards, risers, serving dishes, bowls, cheese knives, spoons and tongs, plus styling and foliage. This equipment belongs to us and is collected after your event.

Disposable plates, napkins and cutlery can be added for $2.00 per guest.

For staged and luxe tables, all equipment must be returned. You can either rinse it and have it ready for collection at a pre-arranged time, or add our Clean Up Service for $199 and we will return after your event to collect everything, clear the food and tidy the table for you.

An equipment collection fee may apply if a return trip is required.

Absolutely, and we encourage it rather than seeing food go to waste. Have some containers on hand. Please use your judgement with anything that has been sitting out for several hours, particularly cured meats and soft cheeses.

We cannot guarantee food quality in outdoor conditions, including heat, wind and insects, and we are not responsible for weather related disruption. Please have an indoor or covered backup plan for outdoor events.

Our standard cancellation terms apply regardless of weather, so a backup plan protects both of us.

Not sure what you need? Tell us your guest count and event type and we will recommend the right size.

Our tables are generous, but they are designed as grazing and entrée sized portions rather than a full meal. If the table is your main catering, we recommend sizing up or adding items from our catering menu such as sandwiches, sliders, sausage rolls or quiches.

Freshly baked bagels with all the fillings laid out for guests to build their own. Choose the table style at $35 per guest, where we arrive and set up a styled station, or catering boxes at $30 per guest, delivered ready to lay out yourself. Minimum 20 guests for both.
