Questions from Fawley
What’s the nearest station to Fawley for guests?
Henley-On-Thames station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
We are having a ceremony at St Mary the Virgin's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you take everything away?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
For event organisers in Fawley
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We’ll provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on timings and set-up.
Live paella or other catering?
A takeaway order is easy but forgettable. Live paella is something guests remember. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
