FAQs for Dippenhall
Is Dippenhall close to London?

Can you cook in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.

Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Dippenhall.
Can you do gluten-free paella?

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
