Questions from Titchfield Common
Can you cater a reception after a service at St John?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you cook in my back garden?
Most gardens are fine. We need a level spot, clearance from anything flammable and reasonable access. Send us a picture.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Will it be noisy or smoky?
Less smoke than a barbecue, more smell. Let the neighbours know.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them. Proper crockery or good-quality disposables are available.
Dietary needs and planning tips
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Keep a clear zone around the cooking area
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Ask guests about diets when you invite them
- Have enough chairs for most guests
Kids are fascinated by the giant pans, at a safe distance.
Add bread, salad and lemon.
