We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:

Glympton questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Glympton close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How early should we book?
The sooner the better, but it is always worth asking. Send your date and we will check.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Step by step
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a late-May party in Glympton, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:30pm. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- We serve hot and tidy our area afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Leave space around the cooking area
