Questions from Begbroke
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Philip?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
How far is Begbroke from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
When should I book?
Early is best, but ask even if it is soon. Send your date and we will check.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Generally, yes, if there is a flat, open spot away from fences and branches. Send us a photo of the space.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
There is a cooking smell, but much less smoke than a barbecue, and it is a good smell. Let the neighbours know.
What we need at the venue
We’ll agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
- Send a photo of the garden so we can check
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
