Your questions about caterers in Horsham
Is Horsham close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Warnham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you supply china?
We bring plates; china is extra and on request.
What events do you cater?
Weddings, birthdays and garden parties, staff days, Christmas parties, fêtes and school events, wakes, care homes and film sets.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you cater somewhere with no kitchen?
No. We cook outdoors under cover: all we need is a level spot outdoors with access.
Do you work with wedding planners and venues?
Yes. Pass on their details and we’ll agree the details with them.
What about vegetarian guests?
Yes. Every menu includes meat-free options, cooked separately from the meat.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
For event organisers in Horsham
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and trees
- Space to serve as well as cook
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
