How our event catering works in Plumstead
Not every venue in Plumstead has a kitchen, and with us it doesn’t need one: all the cooking happens outdoors under cover. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. We serve rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls with crackling and salads, and we’re frequently booked for weddings and evening receptions and crew lunches.
In a London neighbourhood like Plumstead, access is the first thing caterers ask about. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A picture helps. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
