For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
