Should I cook it myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
What we need at the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Room on tables for sharing dishes
- Permission from the venue
- Parking near the venue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
