For planners, venues and organisers
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.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A green light from whoever owns the site
Hale Common is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
