I know that feeling.  My first two feasts were camping events where the
on-site "kitchen" was a grill with a water point... over there.  This was
aided by three water coolers, 2 food coolers and 2 propane stoves (one
normal, one heavy duty).  Because of this, I would never do a camping
feast (ie one without a kitchen) for more than 100 people.  It's a major
hassle keeping warm things warm and cold things cold.

I am really looking forward to the feast I'm cooking in February, where I
can actually use an oven (*gasp*).  


As to making reservations:  I've noticed in the Southern region of the
East Kingdom, that it depends upon the event and teh feastocrat.  Almost
all feasts have limits mainly due to the size of the hall or kitchen, and
when people know who is cooking or expect the event to run large, you had
best send a reservation in advance.  I have heard that an event in Bhakail
in Mid December is already close to selling out.
