About our event catering in Woking
Most people looking for caterers in Woking want the same things: good food, on time, with no mess left behind. That is what we do, with a hog roast or a barbecue. Whether it’s work events and open days and school fairs and sports days, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, pulled pork and beef brisket.
In Woking, we cater at offices, clubs, schools, homes and venues. Wherever it is, we need a level, open spot outdoors to cook. Every quote lists the menu, staff and what’s included.
What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. For an evening event in Woking, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- First, you send us the occasion, date, venue and numbers.
- We recommend a menu and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef cooks and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
