Frinsted: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Frinsted?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Frinsted from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Frinsted. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is the food cooked safely?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
