  • How long do the meats stay hot for?

    We deliver direct which means the meats leave our kitchen piping hot and are heading directly to you. If you keep the lid shut then the meats will stay hot for 1hr, once opened we have found that they stay a good temp for at least 45min - 1hr. Please remember once the meats have cooled down they will need to be consumed or refrigerated within 3hrs.

  • We're going on a boat!

    Cater Stations are a boat crews best friend. We are happy to deliver to the dock, you can take the kit on board and open when ready. If you are going to be a few hours at sea before opening up - take the trays of meat and place them in an oven at a very low temp (90degs or so). If your boat is ovenless, we have found a chilli bin keeps the trays of meats hot.

  • How many people do your boxes feed?

    On each kit we have a suggested amount, the feedback we receive from our customers is that these are a good indication. But, it all depends on who’s eating and at what type of event, time of day, if there is any other food, etc. So please consider that too. We are more than happy to chat over numbers and quantities.

  • We have an event of over 100 can you feed us?
