Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Label the alternatives clearly
Name a contact for the day.
Ask about china.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- One contact for the day
- A safe distance from kit
- Approval from locations
London Fields is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
