Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.2 miles east of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Lockerley?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Do you do starters?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How many paellas should we have?

Why live cooking beats a buffet
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Larger events typically cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
