Questions from Wormstone
Do you come out to small places like Wormstone?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and All Angels' Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
How much does paella party catering cost in Wormstone?
We quote for each event, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas and we’ll reply with a price.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a photo.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Is my garden big enough?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot clear of fences and trees. Send a photo and we will check.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
