Questions from Berrick Salome
How far is Berrick Salome from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Helen: 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.
How many paellas should we have?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
How far in advance should we book?
Early is best, but ask even if it’s soon. Send your date and we will check.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.

At midsummer, it’s light in Berrick Salome until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
