Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Upper Winchendon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Upper Winchendon?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Upper Winchendon?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Can you cater for children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is generally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What space do you need to cook?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
