Orders must be placed at least Fourteen (14) days IN ADVANCE and confirmation is subject to availability.

We are a small, boutique catering company that believes in sustainability. We order from local vendors based on what you order from us—no more, no less. Please be mindful of the order deadline as it will be strictly enforced! We do not take on unlimited events and our calendar tends to fill up quickly during the Spring and Fall. (Please Note: Our Thanksgiving and Christmas menus have different order deadlines, which are posted to our Website and Instagram account closer to the holidays).

MINIMUM ORDER REQUIREMENT.

Nell’s has a minimum order requirement of requirement of $1,500.00 for all events. All prices for delivery/pick-up orders do not include service charges (30%) and sales tax (varies depending on parish) (10% for Orleans Parish and 9.75% for Jefferson Parish).

PAYMENT.

Your order is not confirmed until we receive a deposit payment. Payment can be made via credit card (subject to no more than 5% credit card processing fee), cash, check, or Venmo (@nellscateringco). For all orders, a 50% deposit is required at the time you place your order to confirm the event. The remaining balance must be paid at least fourteen (14) days in advance of your event. Unless agreed otherwise, all items will be packaged and displayed in disposable, biodegradable custom wooden boxes with bamboo serving ware. For an additional charge of $25 per item, your item(s) can be displayed on ceramic serving-ware; however, the serving ware must be washed and returned to Nell’s within two (2) days of your event or you will be charged a non-refundable fee.

DON’T WORRY—WE STILL DO FULL-SERVICE CATERING.

Nell’s offers full-service catering for larger events, such as weddings and receptions, complete with ceramic display-ware, chaffing dishes, servers, and/or bartenders. Servers and bartenders have a 4-hour minimum.

BEVERAGES.

Nell’s offers alcoholic beverage set-ups for all events through it’s sister company, The Nell Shell. We also provide licensed bartender(s) upon request.

THE MENU.

Nell’s sources from local farmers and vendors as much as possible. All recipes are either original recipes that we created or family recipes that were passed down to us. Our goal is to make your life easier. Over the years, we have had more and more requests for casual, easy to-go items. This is also our attempt to not only fulfill a lot of your last minute needs, but also to fulfill those needs in style by using modern disposable display-ware, clean butcher paper, and lots of beautiful edible flowers for garnish. As always, if you don’t see something you like, let us know!

Please be advised, by placing an order with Nell’s, you are agreeing to the above terms and conditions. Nell’s reserves the right to change these terms and conditions and menu items as circumstances and seasons change.
