FAQs for Farley Wood
What’s the nearest station to Farley Wood for guests?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mark: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes. We are happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
What if the timings change?
It happens. We time the rice to the actual running order, so it is served at its best.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
