Questions from Crowmarsh Gifford
Is Crowmarsh Gifford close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Is Crowmarsh Gifford too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
How much is live paella catering?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.

We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
