Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
How it works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you’re free to enjoy your work event. Any tapas or canapés are served first as the rice is cooking. For a Christmas party in Devil's Den, it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know the timings for the day
