Common questions in Little Horwood
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you serve on plates?
Either: plates with sides or simple rolls.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is a week’s notice enough?

Can we just hire the roaster?
