Pyrton questions
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

- A level area at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

About the food
