Group Dining Policy – Lunch Service
For lunch bookings of ten (10) guests or more, Stella’s Kitchen strongly recommends selecting our two- or three-course Set Lunch Menu.
This service format allows all guests to dine at the same time and ensures a smooth, cohesive experience that reflects the full offering of Stella’s Kitchen.
Bookings of this size that proceed with the set menu will be served simultaneously.
Should a group choose to dine à la carte, please be advised that dishes will be delivered in a staggered service and not all guests may dine at the same time.
This is necessary to maintain food quality and manage kitchen workflow, as all meals are prepared fresh to order.
During peak trading periods, Stella’s Kitchen does not pre-cook meals. Accordingly, main courses may take up to 60 minutes to be prepared and served for larger groups ordering à la carte.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation, as these guidelines allow us to uphold our commitment to quality, consistency, and service excellence for all guests.
