FAQs for Fyfield
Do you come out to small places like Fyfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
We are having a ceremony at Church of St Nicholas: 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. Send us the reception address.
How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We will agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
What do you need at the venue?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
