Can you feed our volunteers?
Yes, timed to your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Is the food very hot?

We will confirm our needs once we know the pitch details.
Do you run a bar at festivals?
We can add our drinks bar if the event is licensed for it. We will go through the licensing with you.
