Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
