The Wrythe questions
What’s the nearest station to The Wrythe for guests?
The Wrythe has its own station: Carshalton station.
Is parking a problem for events in The Wrythe?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We’ll plan unloading around it.
Is paella OK for kids?
Most children enjoy paella, especially a mild chicken one. Tell us how many and their ages.
Does it make plenty of smoke?
Paella is cooked over gas, so there’s cooking steam and smell but little smoke. The smell is generally the best advert for the party.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a little extra built in. Accurate numbers help.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
