Tapas catering in Glebe Farm
FAQs for Glebe Farm
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
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. Tell us where the reception will be.
What’s the nearest station to Glebe Farm for guests?
Woburn Sands station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is halal food available?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Do you cook tapas on site?
Hot tapas are finished on site so they’re served at their best.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we will check with you and the venue.

Organising for someone else?
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

DIY paella versus live catering
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
