Frequently Asked Questions

• At Wild Thyme we cater for small private or business parties of 30 guests up to large functions of 250 guests and everything in between.
  

• For small to medium sized events we cover Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford. For larger events we are happy to travel anywhere in Ireland.
  

• We do not own a stock of these items however we can take care of ordering everything you will need for your event from one of the reputable hire companies in Dublin. The items will be delivered to you a day or two before the event and you can arrange payment with the hire company separately. We will unpack and lay out all the plates, linen, tables etc and repack them ready for collection by the hire company.

• We recommend choosing one type of canape for every ten guests. For example if you have 40 guests we would suggest four types of canape. We allow 2 to 3 of each canape per guest, so 4 types would equal minimum 8 canape pieces per guest. Canapes can also be a great substitute for a first course at a large reception.
  

• Yes. There are any number of options to choose between. From a sit down starter followed by buffet main course to a canape reception followed by a 'family style' main course service. We are always happy to discuss the options with you and arrange a service style to suit every occasion and budget.
