Contract catering agreement

About this document

This catering contract can be used as the basis for negotiation or as a "terms and conditions" document when it will be put to a client on a "take-it-or-leave-it" basis.

The document includes strong paragraphs to cover insurance and consequent acceptance of full liability, protecting the caterer.

It is suitable for any professional caterer, from an individual to a large company.  This flexible document is appropriate as a standard “terms and conditions” document for a caterer.

All it needs is the addition, by reference, of a quotation providing all information particular to the contract in hand.

Do not risk your clients blaming you for matters beyond your control or as a result of a misunderstanding.  Get the contract terms in writing and your work will progress smoothly.
