Event catering in Chandler's Ford, served hot
Some caterers need a kitchen; we bring our own cooking to you. That means almost any outdoor space in Chandler's Ford can work, as long as there’s a way in for our equipment. For crew lunches and staff days and client events, we will put together a menu of pulled pork, halloumi skewers and beef brisket.
Chandler's Ford has halls, clubs, pubs and function venues, as well as plenty of gardens. If yours has outdoor space, we can cater there. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
The process
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we tidy up and pack away. For an evening event in Chandler's Ford, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
