Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
As a London location, Primrose Hill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
