Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Have shelter ready in case of rain

We can serve through rain, though a marquee or gazebo helps guests stay dry.

Common questions in Hemsted
Could you come to a seaside event near Hemsted?
We can, given firm ground and the landowner’s permission. Beaches and promenades typically need the council’s agreement, so check that first.

Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.

Tell us what the site has, such as a supply from the venue near where we’ll park, and we’ll confirm the arrangements with your quote.
