Cufaude questions
How far is Cufaude from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Cufaude for guests?
The closest is Bramley (Hants) station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information, and we’ll check availability.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we will include them with our application.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
