What else we do in Dippenhall
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken gives guests who don’t eat pork or beef a meat option.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
