Questions from Tonge
Do you come out to small places like Tonge?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Milton Creek Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Which areas do you serve?

How soon do we need to book?

We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through it.
What happens if it rains?

How the day works
We take care of the food from set-up to service, so you can enjoy your work event. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. December events in Tonge are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day

- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
