Stratfield Saye: your questions answered
How far is Stratfield Saye from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St. Mary the Virgin: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you cook tapas on site?
We finish hot dishes on site; cold tapas are laid out as guests arrive.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
What does tapas catering cost?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Do you provide serving staff?
Yes, if you want them. Canapés need staff to carry them round.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
What affects the price in Stratfield Saye
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and unloading
- How many staff you need
- How many guests are eating
- How long we are needed on site
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
- The date and time of the event
- Whether the venue has crockery or staff
