Questions from Appley
How far is Appley from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come to Appley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Appley and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
