Q&A’s about how it works

  • For us to cater for your event, we need to factor in the size of Muriel (she’s a big boned girl!) She’s 6.2m long, 2.3m wide and 2m high. With Muriel safely in place, the magic can happen!

  • We have a booking fee, which is a very simple way of ensuring we’re all on the same page. The booking fee is a one-off payment of $350, and that means there will be no date clashes and that Goodtimes will be good to go for your event.

  • We have no special requirements at all - as long as our super-long extension cord can plug into a normal power point, we are good to go. If we can’t get access to power, we can bring our generator, but this does come with a bit of noise.

  • We charge a booking fee of $350 which is a one-off payment and is non-refundable if you then decide to cancel your booking with us with less than 6 month’s notice. The booking fee is due the week following the confirmation of your booking, with full payment required 2 weeks before the big day.

    Our minimum spend is $2000.

    Staffing costs will depend on your menu choices and final guest numbers.

    We cover the travel costs to the main towns of the South Wairarapa. Otherwise there’s a $3 per km charge, depending on the terrain to the destination!

  • At Goodtimes, no one misses out! We will design a menu specifically for your guests with food allergies and intolerances and match your menu as best we can for a small extra fee.

  • The number of staff we bring depends very much on the number of guests at your event. We find that the best way to give you the information you need is to have a chat about it, so please get in touch and we will prepare a customised quote to suit your needs.

    Our staff tend to arrive in their own vehicles, so we may require extra space for parking at the venue. Most staff will leave once all the food is served, unless there is a reason for them to stay on.

  • We need 45mins- 1 hour to set up, (depending on numbers and menu) We can get the truck in position earlier if need be, so we don’t interrupt any goings on!

    It will take us an hour to pack down (maybe even less) and cool off the truck. We leave an inventory list for platters, grazing tables and then we pop by the next day to pick up (distance depending).
