Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
