Planning help
For event organisers in Inkpen
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 a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
