Common questions in Goosey
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come out to small places like Goosey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
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.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
How much is live paella catering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, courses, staff and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, and it saves you passing messages. Introduce us and we will sort the details.
Can we have a tasting?
Mention a tasting in your enquiry, and we’ll explain how it works.

The process
Service is quick: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. In Goosey, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening paella is normally served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

- We plan your menu course by course.
- We agree timings with you and your venue.
- On the day, we cook and serve each course.
