The following menu items and pricing are to serve only as examples and guidelines. We have varying backgrounds in cuisine, and we can most likely create any dish that your event may require. For years, our company has struggled to come up with a fair pricing system, and has given the following prices to serve as a guide. Pricing depends on so many different factors, which may substantially increase or decrease the cost of your event. Some of the factors that we consider are the number of guests attending, the frequency at which you may use our services and the nature of your event.  We strongly recommend that you allow us to set up a face-to-face meeting to discuss your requirements. This will enable us to consider all of your event specific information in creating your estimate. Discounts may be offered to first time clients, University of Virginia or state affiliated groups, non-profit organizations and others.

To ensure adequate food quantities and related services, you will need to confirm guest count by the date specified in our contract. This is generally five days prior to the event date. However, we can make special arrangements under extenuating circumstances. After your confirmation date, we are able to accommodate increases in guest count, but not reductions, as we cannot return excess food supplies ordered for your event. Guest count changes can be communicated by phone, fax or e-mail. Unless notified of changes within contract time frames, we will prepare and bill for the contracted number.

To reserve a specific event date, the Shebeen Pub, Braai & Catering Outfit may require a deposit, which will be applied toward your final bill. If required, the deposit amount and payment due date will be shown in your contract. The deposit for a function canceled with fourteen days or less notice becomes the property of the Shebeen Pub, Braai & Catering Outfit. Payment in full is required at the completion of the event unless other previous arrangements have been made. Additional charges for late or insufficient payment may be applied to the final balance due. We accept payment by cash, check and all major credit cards.

 When selecting menu items, please keep in mind that event specific criteria may affect the types of food that you can serve. We can always set up a tented outdoor kitchen, location permitting, which allows for more flexibility, however, this tends to be on the expensive side of logistics. Things to consider: is there a kitchen on site, availability of electricity & water, venue specific requirements and the kind of event. We are happy to steer you in the right direction should you have any inquiries as to the appropriateness of a menu item.
