Working with your venue
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Catering for every guest
We take diets and allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
- Have bins ready
- Tell us about narrow gates or low branches
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
Rain does not stop the hatch, but plan a gazebo or indoor space for eating.
Loaded nachos to share while the party gets going.
Comparing your options
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Tacos cover everyone with separate fillings. Extra dishes, drinks and longer service are priced on request, so you can choose what you need.
