- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Tell us who does not eat pork

We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level outdoor area

- Sign-off from management
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
