How it works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Preston, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

Before you choose a spot

- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and we’ll say what we think.
