FAQs for Little Hungerford
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Bartholomew: 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. Tell us where the reception will be.
Is Little Hungerford close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is paella smart enough for a wedding?
It can be as relaxed or as polished as you like, depending on how it is served.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it is cooked separately.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What’s in the pans
Desserts
A sweet finish: churros, crema catalana or your wedding cake.
Table tapas
Tapas set out on every table to share, from bravas to croquetas and Manchego.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Check the venue’s rules for outside caterers
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Choose pan-side or table service
- Include any suppliers you’re feeding
Fresh pans can be cooked for evening guests, timed for after the first dance.
Spanish desserts, or your own wedding cake, finish the meal.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
How the day works
Once the rice is in, we don’t stir it. That is how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it.
