Common questions in Botley
We are having a ceremony at St George's Church: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
What’s the nearest station to Botley for guests?
Amersham station, about 2.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cater in Botley?
We do. We cook at events in Botley and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. See all areas.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. A summer party in Botley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Is live paella right for your party?
A hog roast is great for meat lovers, but harder for vegetarians and vegans. Separate paella pans cover everyone. Larger events generally cost less per head, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
