Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
Planning the cooking area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Your trader pack and site rules
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- Vehicle access to the pitch at set-up and break-down
Haggerston is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
