About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
