Common questions in Vernham Street
Do you come out to small places like Vernham Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Vernham Street?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
