Little Marlow questions
What’s the nearest station to Little Marlow for guests?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Little Marlow?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
Does it make a lot of smoke?
Gas cooking means steam and a good smell, not much smoke. The smell is normally the best advert for the party.

We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.

How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. A summer party in Little Marlow stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- On the day we arrive, set up our cooking area and start cooking.
- Your guests watch the paella cook, with tapas first if you’ve chosen them.
