Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. For away days and family fun days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Work events near Wincheap might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
