Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
We serve as the queue moves.
Chicken widens the choice.
