Ewshot questions
Can you cook in Basingbourne Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
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 far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
When should I book?
Early for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.

What affects the price in Ewshot
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- The length of service
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Diets and allergies you know about
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The address or venue name
- Your date and when you want to eat
Send us the date, your venue or GU10 postcode and guest numbers, along with any dietary needs, and you will get a menu idea and a price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?

How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it’s served hot from the pan when you’re ready to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Ewshot until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- You get a menu suggestion and a clear price.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- Guests gather round as it cooks, nibbling tapas if you’ve booked them.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Plan cover in case of rain
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
