Do you trade at school fairs around Ramsdell?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Ramsdell from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is the paella gluten-free?
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.

Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll help you decide the split.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
