FAQs for Queens Park
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We are having a ceremony at Holy Trinity: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.

Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, served while the paella cooks.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.

We cater across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Barbecues cook in batches, so food comes off in waves. Paella is ready all at once, so everyone eats together. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. We will send you a quote.
