Tipner: your questions answered
Is Tipner close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
What paperwork do you have?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we’ll respond.
Can you do sangria?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.

- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
