Common questions in Neames Forstal
Could we have live paella in Mount Ephraim Gardens?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cater at a hired venue?
Generally, if there is outdoor space to cook. Check the venue allows live cooking.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Can you do a kids’ option?
Of course. Children generally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Yes, sangria. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
