Questions from Nash Street
Is Nash Street close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re having a ceremony at The Parish Church: 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. Send us the reception address.
Do you do starters?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cater for children?
Paella is popular with children, especially a mild chicken one. Let us know numbers and ages.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Step by step
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a late-May party in Nash Street, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. After dark, the cooking area needs good lighting.
