High Wycombe questions
Can you cook at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of All Saints: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you cover High Wycombe?
We do. High Wycombe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you provide serving staff?
Staff make canapés work, and we can provide them.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Tapas can be a starter, a reception or the whole meal, so they fit most plans. The price depends on your guest numbers, the menu and how many courses you choose, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
