Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

For planners, venues and organisers

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

- A route for our vehicle
- A safe distance from kit

The process

- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
