Questions from Sydenham
What’s the nearest station to Sydenham for guests?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
Is Sydenham too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan for them.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Do you work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella is served hot as soon as it’s ready. Tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are optional extras, so you only pay for what you want.

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan at the agreed time. After-work summer parties in Sydenham have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

- We confirm a menu, a quote and any paperwork.
- Access and set-up are agreed with facilities.
- We cook in front of your team and serve on time.
- We clear our area and leave it clean.
Before we arrive
