Hello!
We're getting married in June 2020 in a barn in London that we absolutely love but have 1 major challenge- it has no catering facilities
It's a listed building and they don't allow gas on the premises so any cooking has to be done outside. They've told us that caterers usually set-up a mobile kitchen in the courtyard & cook there. There's a room between the courtyard & the barn which has electricity & a couple of sinks which can be used for prep, plating up etc.
We don't need any furniture but would like the caterer to provide cutlery, crockery & linen if possible.
I've been on the hunt for a caterer since June and am really struggling now. We don't want a formal plated dinner- buffet or family sharing style is preferred. I'm finding that the costs are astronomical because most caterers are saying they have to hire in all the equipment they need. We've even considered street food vans but don't want to take the risks of guests having to go outside for food just in case it rains (but I'm sure it'll be a gloriously sunny day !!)
Not sure what to do now. Any help or suggestions gratefully received!
Thank you
