What else we do in Blenheim
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
What affects the price in Blenheim
These are the factors that matter most:

The more we know about your wedding, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- What the venue already provides
- The courses you’d like

Common questions in Blenheim
Is Blenheim close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking generally happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you cater for suppliers?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We will speak to your venue about access and timings.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Do you come to Blenheim?
We do. Blenheim is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
