At a rural home near East Studdal, access matters. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
- Count families and staff too
- Tell us about dietary needs in advance
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter afternoons in East Studdal are short, with sunset at about 3:50pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Let us know about tight access
