Common questions in Sands End
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Mary's Church?
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.
Is parking a problem for events in Sands End?
It can be, so tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children typically love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one in your enquiry.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
