South Moreton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to South Moreton for guests?
Cholsey station, about 2 miles south-east of the centre.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook inside?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Do you cook at halls and clubs?
Normally, if there’s outdoor space to cook. Ask the venue about live cooking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Should we have more than one paella?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. We will recommend a mix based on diets.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
