Yes, if you need them. Tell us about vegetarian, vegan, halal or other dietary needs when you enquire.

Each set menu has a fixed price plus transport. It covers the food listed, cooked fresh on site, serving, rustic wooden platters and clearing up after ourselves, including all the waste. We do not provide waiting staff. Disposable plates, cutlery and napkins are included free of charge.

Ideally at least 3 days before the event, but the earlier the better.

We need at least 3 x 3 metres of outdoor space. We bring tents, all the equipment and a generator, so we can cook even in a field. Tell us about your venue when you enquire.

We arrive 4 to 7 hours before serving, depending on the menu. For a whole pig alone it is 4 to 5 hours.

Cooking over coals gives off some smoke, mostly at the start. We set up away from tables and doors and agree the spot with you beforehand.

Yes. We hold a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 and public liability insurance with cover of up to £10,000,000. We can send your venue our insurance certificate, hygiene certificates and risk assessment. Our chef holds Level 2, 3 and 4 food hygiene certificates.

Tell us about any allergies when you book and again before the event. We can prepare dishes without gluten ingredients, and without fish or seafood. We can tell you which of the 14 main allergens each dish contains. We cook on an open fire and handle allergens in the same space, so we cannot guarantee that a dish is free from traces.

Yes. After the event we take away our equipment and all the waste, and leave the cooking area tidy.
