Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Catering for every guest
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Get facilities approval early
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
