how do you deliver the food?
for our grazing tables, we transport the pre-prepped food which we keep cool in transit in our cool boxes which we will then set up upon arrival at the venue, drop off delivery platters and boxes will be pre-arranged in their display and will just be dropped off on arrival.
for our street food, we cook the food on-site in either our 3m x 3m gazebo set up or our indoor wooden setup.
