- Someone to meet us at reception
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
