Please place orders by phoning our café at 902.423.5282. You may email us at hello@birdsnesthalifax.com to ask questions, ask for quotes or to place orders, but orders are not considered to be placed until you speak to a staff member or receive a confirmation by email. We require a minimum of 48 hours notice for all catering orders, but we recommend booking as early as possible, as we can often book up. Currently, we tend to book up about one week in advance, but this changes on a day-to-day basis. However, we will try to accommodate last minute orders whenever possible.

We offer disposable catering platters, paper plates, soup bowls, napkins, cutlery, and paper coffee cups at a charge of 0.50 per person. If china, thermal coffee urns, chafing dishes, or other non-disposables are required, please contact us for a quote. We may also charge a pick-up fee for these items, or you may return them to us by 4:00pm the next day to avoid a pick-up fee.

The Bird's Nest delivers from 8:00am to 2:00pm, Monday to Friday. If you require delivery outside of these times, please contact us, and we can generally arrange delivery by courier. If non-disposable dishes are requested, we will charge a pick-up fee equivalent to the delivery charge to your area, or you may return all non-disposables to us the next day before 4:00pm at no charge. For other delivery locations, please contact us for pricing.

The Bird's Nest accepts cash paid at our café, debit, Visa, Master Card, American Express, and corporate cheques. If you would like to pay by credit card, just let us know and we can issue an invoice with an option for secure online payment. Please note that we do not take credit card numbers over the phone. For approved corporate customers, we can provide invoices with 14 day terms. For orders over 1000, we reserve the right to request a 50% down-payment.

We require a 48-hour cancellation notice. If orders are cancelled with 48 to 24-hours notice, we charge a 25% fee. If orders are cancelled with less than 24-hours notice, we may charge a 50% fee.
