- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Count residents who need an alternative
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In summer, Cooper Street has daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
