No open-flame cooking of any kind is allowed in the Barn. Sterno may be used for chafing dishes during the event under the supervision of your staff. No live candles of any kind are allowed.
Set Up Area
The catering set up area is in the of the Barn (click here for a drawing of the barn). Many caterers choose to set their staging area up outside under a tent. Please inform your client if this will be necessary as either they or you will need to acquire the tent.
