Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Halal isn’t offered
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
