Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In late September, sunset in Batt's Corner is about 7:05pm; in December, about 4:00pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.

- We cook on site.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
