Middle Assendon: your questions answered
Is Middle Assendon close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Middle Assendon too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
What documents can you provide?
Let us know what’s required, and we’ll provide it.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
