Do you cook in the kitchen?
In the garden or car park, in a spot you approve.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
