Dietary Requirements

It is your responsibility to make Tandak’s aware of any dietary requirements.

Tandak’s supplies Halal food ONLY and DO NOT supply or use any alcohol or products that contain alcohol.

Tandak’s will advise further on food items that can be consumed according to the dietary requirements. We will try our best to be accommodating where possible. Please note that the rate of the foods may vary due to specialist ingredients that may be needed to produce such food.

Allergens

Tandak’s is not an allergen free kitchen. We cannot guarantee that our products are free from ingredients that may affect those with food allergies. If you suffer from a food allergy, please notify us before placing your order.

Quantity discrepancy

Please note that there may be some discrepancies with the quantity of your order. For example, if you order x100 of an item, you may get x98 or x102. However, Tandak’s will always ensure that there is more than enough food for your guests. If you have any questions please ask a member of Tandak’s staff.

Food Tastings

Tandak’s offers a mixed platter as a taster. The cost of this will vary dependant on the food and quantity. This is only available for a collection on a day where there is already food being prepared and the items will vary according to what is being cooked on the day. The standard taster is for 2 people. If you require a larger quantity, this can be arranged and will cost more.

Temperature of food

If you have chosen a delivery only service, the food delivered may not be hot. The food will be delivered in foil trays or boxes (dependent on the nature of the food.) Food in foil trays can be reheated in the oven or can be transferred into another dish of your choice to warm according to your preference. Tandak’s is unable to control the temperature of the food delivered and takes no responsibility for delivering hot food.

If you have opted for a Tandak’s signature creative buffet style set up, the food items that will be on display will not be hot. The items which are in chafing dishes will be hot (for up to 3 hours).

Travel and Delivery

Please be aware that there will be travel costs and delivery charges according to your post code.

For a set up within Birmingham there is no travel cost. However, if your event is outside of Birmingham there is a travel cost dependant on the postcode of the venue.

If you make an order over £350 within Birmingham, there will be no delivery charge.

Set Up Costs

The set-up cost covers labour, the food styling, décor hire, flower hire, table hire, staffing, clean up etc. This is a flat fee and will remain at its cost regardless of whether 1 or more of the above is not required by the customer (e.g., table hire).

Tandak’s may charge extra if your set up is required in a high building where there are multiple flights of stairs.

Access

Tandak’s will need access to parking a large Van as close as possible to the entrance. We will also need access to a hob or a warming facility to warm up the food. (Tandak’s do not cook on site). Tandak’s also needs a clean area to prep and style the food. Access to a kettle or boiling water will also be required.
