For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Space for our vehicle nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
