What affects the price in Aldingbourne
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Site access
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
