Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere indoors for people to eat
- Approval from the landlord or committee
- A safe distance from the hall
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
