How it works

- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We cook on site.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Flat ground outside the hall or house
