Full Meal Appetisers, main course, desserts… the entire package.

Free Flow Drinks You know what this means. Just be careful! We are not taking you home.

We don't want our guests to feel like sardines in a can! Sometimes there are venue limitations, and sometimes we choose to limit the number of places to ensure the right experience for our events.

We will sometimes team up with brands to provide you the bests events. Generally sponsors will help provide a unique experience at a reduced price, but will never cover the entire cost of an event. Where can you get a free lunch?

To allocate tickets and manage our events we use Eventbrite. To book a ticket for one of our events, you must first register with Eventbrite. You will find the Eventbrite page link on the events' article (on our website, check out our Events Page) and also in our weekly newsletter (subscribe to that here).

Tickets payment are managed through 3rd-party ticketing platforms Eventbrite by using Paypal. We also accept bank transfers

If you can’t attend a event you can let us know by email so we can release the ticket for another guest. Unfortunately, we cannot proceed for tickets refund, but we are happy to give you a credit to use on one of our other events - we want to give you every chance to enjoy a Foodie event!

If you have any further questions, please email us! We also welcome comments about events you have attended and will take them into consideration when planning future events.

There might have been spelling mistakes, grammatical errors, poor sentence structure and/or opportunities for information to be conveyed more effectively.
