What else we do in Burcott
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
- How many courses
Travel, parking and access can affect the price, so tell us about the venue when you ask for a quote. Everything is confirmed in writing.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Approximate guest numbers, including children
- The date and time of the event
- Anything your venue supplies
- Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and allergy numbers
Every quote is put together for your event. Give us your date and numbers, and we will check availability at the same time.

Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Plan seating near the food area
- Check traders’ packaging and waste plans
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Ask traders about serving speed at peak times
Allergen information is available at the stall.
