FAQs for Charney Bassett
Is Charney Bassett too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Charney Bassett close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you come to Charney Bassett?
We do. We cook at events in Charney Bassett and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Charney Bassett are in the dark from about 4:00pm, so plan lighting where we cook. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
