Carterton questions
How far is Carterton from London?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It’s ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Send us the venue’s requirements.
