Badger Farm: your questions answered
How far is Badger Farm from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re having a ceremony at Saint Luke: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Are the tapas served hot?
Yes, hot dishes are finished at the venue so they’re served at their best.
Are your tapas vegetarian-friendly?
Plenty are vegetarian, like tortilla and padrón peppers. We label each dish.
How many different paellas?
Generally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

How the day works
Watching it cook is half the fun. We start with the sofrito, add the stock and saffron, then spread the rice across the pan and leave it alone to cook while your guests chat. Evening receptions in Badger Farm stay light until about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so canapés can go round outdoors on a summer evening.
