FAQs for Twyford
Is Twyford 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.
What’s the nearest station to Twyford for guests?
Shawford station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you come to Twyford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Twyford is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. To check your date, use our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Canapé tapas
Canapé tapas suit client events.
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s served at its best. For a Christmas party in Twyford, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
