Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count families and staff too
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level spot in the garden or car park
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- A spot that keeps access clear
Petersham is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
