Common questions in North Gorley
Do you come out to small places like North Gorley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?

Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your shoot for a quote.

Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where we can.
