Common questions in Great Haseley
Is Great Haseley close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Great Haseley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will see what works.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
