Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list

- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
It is kind to include suppliers working late in your numbers.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
