Steep Marsh: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Steep Marsh?
Petersfield station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Is Steep Marsh too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can staff get involved?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
