Common questions in Little Brickhill
How far is Little Brickhill from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalen?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it is cooked separately.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

In Little Brickhill, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting where we cook.
