Questions from Hampers Green
Do you come out to small places like Hampers Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at The Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How far in advance should we book?
Early for summer weekends. Check your date with us.
Can you set up in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a picture and we’ll check.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
