The process

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Getting ready for the day

- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
