FAQs for Newport Pagnell
How far is Newport Pagnell from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station should guests use for Newport Pagnell?
Wolverton station, about 3.4 miles west of the centre.
Will there be long queues?
It is one of the quickest hot foods to serve, ideal for peak times.
Do you have vegan options at events?
Yes, always. There is a vegan pan next to the others.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can you cook indoors?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Should I cook it myself?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Why choose live paella in Newport Pagnell?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
