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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
What we need at the venue
We cook in large pans over gas burners, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think before booking.
