Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
It is kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ashampstead Green.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
