For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
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.

- The journey to the venue
