Other catering in Cowden
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: see how many tacos per person. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label anything containing allergens.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, then set up and prepare everything. Guests come up to order when service opens. Late-September events in Cowden see sunset at about 7:05pm, so an evening programme will run partly after dusk. Organisers should plan that into the site layout.
- Organisers send us the event details, dates and pitch information.
- We send our menu, pitch requirements and the documents you ask traders for.
- We set up the truck or trailer on the pitch at the agreed time.
- Tacos, burritos and more are served to order while the event is open.
- At the close, we clear our pitch.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to park
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm the venue allows outside caterers
