Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
