How it works
Once service is over, we pack down and clear our own area. We agree set-up and pack-down times with you and your venue. In Hawkinge, it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but dark by about 3:50pm in December, so autumn and winter parties need more thought about lighting.

- We put a menu together and quote for it.
- We confirm access, parking, power and water.
- On the day, we arrive, set up and start serving at the agreed time.
- We pack down after service so the party can carry on.
How to prepare
- Check gates and access routes are wide and high enough
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
- Share the running order, including any speeches
