Common questions in Huntercombe
We’re having a ceremony at St. Andrew's Shared Church: can you cater afterwards?
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.
Which station should guests use for Huntercombe?
Huntercombe has its own station: Burnham station.
What about pudding?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
When should I book?
The sooner the better, but it’s always worth asking. We will check availability straight away.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Can you serve drinks?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Home-made buffets take ages and sit out for hours. Paella is cooked fresh and served hot. Access and travel can make a difference to the cost, so it helps to tell us about your venue. The full price is confirmed before booking.
Why us?
- Every diet catered for, pan by pan
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu
- We cover Huntercombe and the whole of Slough
- Fast service from the pan

Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
- Give the neighbours a heads-up
Booked staff help serve and clear so you can relax.
Tapas to start keep hunger at bay.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Planning the cooking area
Safety and good cooking both depend on the spot we use. We look for:
- A picture of the garden helps us check the space
- A level, firm spot for the burners and pans
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and we will say what we think.
