Ham-carver quote: what to ask before booking

Two carving proposals may include different things even when they list the same hours. To compare them, prepare an event brief and separate product, service and equipment. This guide helps you request a specific offer from Jamones Paco Heredia; it is not a price list or booking confirmation.

At a glance

Give date, venue, guest numbers and timings. Establish who supplies the ham and equipment, what the service includes and how remaining product will be handled.

1. Explain when and how food will be served

Send the date, address or town, expected guest numbers and serving hours. Separate arrival and setup time from the start of service. A reception where everyone approaches at once needs different organisation from a meal with staggered guests. State whether the area is indoors or outdoors and what the venue provides. Ask for availability to be confirmed for that particular event.

2. Separate the ham from the carving work

Ask whether the proposal covers the ham, carving only or both, and who buys or delivers the product. If ham is included, establish full designation, format and stated weight; if you supply it, agree acceptance and delivery beforehand. Do not automatically convert the kilos of a bone-in ham into grams served. Request an estimate suited to the rest of the menu, service time and whether ham is an aperitif or starter.

3. Clarify the station, equipment and end of service

Record who supplies the table, holder, tools, plates and cleaning equipment, and who sets up the station. Coordinate access, working space and plate replenishment with the venue. Ask about ingredient and allergen information, waste removal and handling remaining ham according to its storage directions. Spain’s official carving and tasting curriculum covers preparing the station and service; carving is more than producing slices.

4. Request a specific proposal before booking

Check scope, timings, travel, taxes, payment and change or cancellation terms in the offer you receive. Explore the event ham-carving service and send your details to Paco Heredia to confirm options. If you supply the product, compare whole hams; a ham’s price is not an event quote. Do not assume extras are included before they are agreed.
