Steventon: your questions answered
How far is Steventon from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Steventon?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Where do you cater?
We cater across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
