Work events in Quarley: access and travel
Quarley is about 6 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. Across the SP11 area, we will come to your venue or garden. We cook in all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our events stretch from Quarley to Southampton (21 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: Grateley station is about 1.6 miles away.
We cook at work events all over SP11 and the streets around it. That could mean a work event in a garden on Park Lane and Etwall. We also cook at work events in Fox (1 mile east), Grateley (1 mile south), Amport (2 miles east), Thruxton (2 miles north-east) and Palestine (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Andover (6 miles east), Romsey (15 miles south), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (4 miles north-west), Weeke (15 miles south-east) and Stanmore (15 miles south-east).

Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
