FAQs for Preston Bissett

How far is Preston Bissett from London?

Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.

Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?

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.

Can you do a kids’ option?

Of course. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Does it make plenty of smoke?

Paella is cooked over gas, so there is cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is usually the best advert for the party.

Can you cook in my back garden?

Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. Send us a picture.

How soon do we need to book?

The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.

Can you cook in the rain?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Do you do vegan paella?

Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
