For event organisers in Wormshill
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
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.

- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A clear way in from where we park
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
