Questions from Bishopsgate
Which station should guests use for Bishopsgate?
The closest is Egham station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Is Bishopsgate close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Just add them to your numbers. Tell us when they’ll eat.
What if photos overrun?
We plan for it. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it’s ready when you are.
Do you cook inside?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can paella feel formal?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, table tapas, good crockery and staff serving the tables.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.

How it works
From set-up to serving, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. If you’ve chosen tapas or canapés, they go out first as the rice is cooking. For a summer wedding in Bishopsgate, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting for the cooking area.
