Goose Green questions
Do you cater in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Goose Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you liaise with the venue coordinator?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we’ll sort the details.
Can you do our whole wedding menu?
We can cater as much or as little of the day as you like, from the drinks reception to the evening.
What does wedding paella catering cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, the courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can we have a tasting?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we’ll talk you through it.
Is paella too casual for a wedding?
With the right presentation, it feels special: canapés, tapas, crockery and table service.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
