Wildridings questions
How far is Wildridings from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables can be added to your booking.
How much does tapas catering cost in Wildridings?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Bracknell Forest included. Find your area.
Do you supply canapé staff?
Yes, if you want them. Canapés need staff to carry them round.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Catering for every guest
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan more dishes if tapas are the meal
- Label seafood clearly
- Book staff to carry canapés round
- Ask for labels on each dish
Staff keep the canapés coming.
