Sydenham: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Sydenham close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do you provide allergen information?
Every dish comes with allergen information for your team to check.
Can residents with swallowing difficulties have the hog roast?
Texture-modified meals should be prepared by the home’s kitchen to each resident’s plan. We’ll give your team the information they need.
Can families and staff join in?
Of course: include them in your numbers.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
