Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.

Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.

Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
