Sherfield English questions
What’s the nearest station to Sherfield English for guests?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 2.9 miles north-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Leonard: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell, and it’s a good smell. A friendly note to the neighbours helps.
Is paella OK for kids?
Yes. Children normally love a plain chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Can you cater a party at a village hall?
Frequently, yes. We need a suitable spot and the venue’s agreement.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.
Is my garden big enough?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
What do you need at the venue?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Unlike a barbecue, paella is ready at once, so nobody waits for the next batch. And nobody is stuck at the grill. Live paella often compares well with a sit-down meal, because it needs no kitchen and fewer staff. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- Drinks service on request
- Tapas, canapés and desserts if you want them
- A clear, itemised quote
- Separate pans for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests
See Our pricing Or The cost guide.
What happens on the day
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so even a long queue moves. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. Sunset in Sherfield English is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, we’ll need light where we cook and serve.
- First, we check the date and the space.
- You pick paellas, tapas and desserts.
- The burners go on and the sofrito starts.
- The rice goes in and your guests gather round.
- It is served hot, and we clear away afterwards.
How to prepare
- Have a level space ready for the pans
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Share the running order, including any speeches
