Littleworth questions
Do you come out to small places like Littleworth?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you trade at school fairs around Littleworth?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. The vegan pan is cooked separately.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
