Common questions in Nether Wallop
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking normally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Nether Wallop close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How long do you need on site?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
How much tapas do we need?
We plan quantities around your timings and courses. Tell us more and we will advise.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Live paella or other catering?
Crisps and nibbles fill a gap. Tapas are a real course. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll put together a menu that fits. Even a simple menu can be a feast.

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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
