For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The price comes down to:
- Distance from us

- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Ask about china.

- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
