We bring the pans and burners and work to your site rules, including arrival and waste arrangements. Typical bookings include summer fairs and fêtes and feeding crew and volunteers, serving churros, chicken and chorizo paella and seafood paella.
Near Beedon, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hot-food stall is a big help. Tapas, canapés, desserts, sangria and staff can all be added, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
