The most important bit! We are providing an estimate for three items of hot and cold street food. Our street food and bowl food are sized like a mini-starter, so think of it as about four of five bites of food. We are not providing an estimate for canapés or drinks.

Front of house

We will provide a team of two smart, friendly, fully trained bar staff who will look after your drinks, and two members of staff who will serve food during the evening. They will be happy to assist you with anything you might need - just ask.

Back of house

We are providing one head chef and one sous chef to prepare and serve the food. All our chefs hold at least a level 2 food hygiene certificate.

We are providing the following hire equipment for your event: 150 x champagne flute, 150 x wine glass, 150 x highball, 4 x water jug, 5 x ice chiller bin, 2 x ice scoop, 2 x ice bucket, 2 x tongs, 2 x non-slip tray

Drinks

We are providing ice to chill and serve your drinks.
