Common questions in Anmore
How far is Anmore from London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Which station should guests use for Anmore?
Bedhampton station, about 4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is halal food available?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
What if photos overrun?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Live paella or other catering?
A plated wedding breakfast needs a kitchen and a large team. Live paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission, and feels more relaxed. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
- Live cooking, not reheated food
- Starters and desserts to complete the menu

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests generally gather round to watch while it cooks. In Anmore, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
