Boughton under Blean questions
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Boughton under Blean?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cook near the sea around Boughton under Blean?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you do crew catering?
Yes. We can cook for crew, volunteers or a hospitality area as well as, or instead of, a public stall.
Do you need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
