Farncombe: your questions answered
Is Farncombe close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Farncombe?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does festival paella catering cost?
We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
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 soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.

We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
