Details that help
For a quote, it helps to have:
- What the venue already provides
- A picture of the space, if you can
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Which courses you have in mind
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
