Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the truck or trailer and get the serving area ready. Service starts at the time we have agreed, so everything runs to your schedule. Sunset in South Down is around 9:25pm in June, which suits an outdoor bar. String lights or lanterns near the hatch make a later bar easier to find.
- We check availability.
