Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can check the date.
For big numbers, we plan service to keep queues short, so guests are looked after quickly. Let us know how long the break is.
Should I do it myself?
Some hosts like to do it themselves. Common snags are cold tortillas, uneven quantities and the host missing the party. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us serve.
You can set up your own drinks table, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
FAQs for Lee

What’s the nearest station to Lee for guests?
Guests can use Lee station, which is right in Lee.

Planning the serving area
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Clear information on power, water and waste
- The event’s site rules and timings
- Pitch space for the vehicle and a queue
Lee is in London, inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which covers all of Greater London, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits, a driveway or whether a parking suspension is needed.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
