Around Brompton, a fête or summer fair suits a huge paella pan. Send us the pitch and access details. We bring everything we need to cook, and pack down our cooking area when service is finished.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Prices and what affects them
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
- The number of people
- The length of service
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will put together a menu that fits. A simple menu can still feel generous.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The date and time of the event
