Shutford questions
How far is Shutford from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Is Shutford too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
