Questions from West Hagbourne
Is West Hagbourne 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 in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella covers diets with separate pans. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. Everything is confirmed in writing.
