Where we can cook in Connaught Village
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- A quick photo of the spot helps us plan
As a London location, Connaught Village is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about permits, bays or off-street parking.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
