Winter markets, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

Should I cook it myself?

If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
