If guests are coming by rail, Farnborough North station is about 1.1 miles away. Historic houses near Mytchett include Wanborough Manor (4.9 miles south-east). Grand settings like these often have strict catering rules, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.

Common questions in Mytchett
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Mytchett for guests?
The closest is Farnborough North station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, we do. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We will recommend a mix based on diets.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Usually. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.

Occasions we cook for in Mytchett
It brings a bit of holiday feeling to a garden party.
Whatever the occasion, live paella can be the centrepiece. We often cook for:
- Retirement celebrations
- Big birthdays
- Big family gatherings
- Celebrations of life
Parks such as Frimley Lodge Park generally need permission for cooking, so a garden or hired venue is often easier.

Catering for every guest
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. Here are a few tips for planning:
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Add a diet question to the invitation
- Tell us how many children are coming
The cooking area stays tidy and safe, with a clear space around the burners.
Tapas and nibbles while the paella cooks keep hunger at bay.
About the dishes
Churros
Fried, sugared and dipped in chocolate.
Seafood paella
Seafood paella usually gets the photos, and is best served with lemon.
What we need at the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
A typical event goes like this: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and it is served hot from the pan when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Mytchett until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with your date, address, numbers and any diets.
- We suggest paellas and extras and send a quote.
- We arrive, set up in your garden or venue and start the sofrito.
- The paella cooks while your guests chat, with any tapas served first.
- We serve from the pan and clear our cooking area away when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the timings for the day
