Questions from Horton-cum-Studley
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Barnabas: can you cater afterwards?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook in Katie and George Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need somewhere outside or well ventilated to cook, and the venue’s permission.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Live paella or other catering?
Cooking yourself saves money but costs you the party. With live paella, you are a guest too. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
