Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
