Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Wingham Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wingham Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How far is Wingham Green from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is it really cooked live?
