Q 2. How much notice do I need to provide for my order?

We can usually accept orders up until 3pm on the business day prior to delivery, however we are currently experiencing a high demand and with industry wide labour shortages we are reaching capacity earlier than this on some days so I would suggesting placing orders as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

We can occasionally accept orders after these cut off times and will always endeavor to accommodate last minute orders where possible. To place an order outside of these cut off times, please phone our team on 1300 368 605 to discuss your specific requirements. Late orders will be accommodated wherever possible but may be subject to reduced menu options

Q 12. What is a ’round’?

A ‘round’ is a serving. For example 1 whole sandwich or roll or wrap. 1 round equals 1 whole item and this item is (in some cases) then cut into 2, 3 or 4 pieces.
For example: Our triangle point sandwich; 1 round = 1 sandwich which can then be cut into 4 triangles… hence 1 round = 4 pieces (triangles).
In the case of our Mixed Harvest Collection for example, 1 round equals 1 serve which is 3 sandwich pieces per person.
