FAQs for Bramshott Chase
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Luke: can you cater afterwards?
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. Send us the reception address.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or ventilated spot to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.

Is live paella right for your party?
A buffet takes hours to prepare and leaves food sitting out. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Live paella pricing depends on the event. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
