BEFORE WE GET STARTED

A few practical questions.

How do I book a hog roast?

Are you taking on more sports grounds?

Yes. Chunky’s is looking to work with more youth football, rugby and community sports grounds. Tell us about your fixtures, tournaments, facilities and existing catering arrangements so we can discuss a suitable approach.

Who should enquire about stadium catering?

Club and venue managers looking for an experienced matchday catering operator. Contact Dd’s with your expected attendance, facilities and service requirements so we can discuss your venue.
