Winslow: your questions answered
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Laurence: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Winslow close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do sangria?
We can add sangria and bar staff.
How do you work out quantities?
That depends on their role in the meal. We’ll suggest quantities for your event.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Match tapas with Spanish drinks
- Collect dietary needs
- Canapés need staff to serve
- Widen the selection for a tapas-only menu
We clear our equipment when service ends.

Planning help
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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 be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Space, weather and the venue
Every venue is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Space on each table
- A suitable spot to finish hot tapas
- The venue’s agreement to outside caterers
