Steephill questions
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Which station should guests use for Steephill?
Shanklin station, about 3.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you cover Steephill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Steephill is within our area and the rest of the Isle of Wight. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how we work.
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We’ll send you a quote.
