Steeple Claydon questions
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Michael?
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. Send us the reception address.
How far is Steeple Claydon from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and well within our area.
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.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Do you cover Steeple Claydon?
We do. Steeple Claydon is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is my garden big enough?
Many gardens work. We need level ground, clearance and access. A picture helps.
How much does paella party catering cost in Steeple Claydon?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Planning for every diet
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Collect dietary needs with your invites
- Plan a covered spot for wet weather
- Have enough chairs for most guests
- Keep children and pets away from the burners
After service, we pack down, so the party carries on.
Bread, salad and lemon wedges round off the meal.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
