Milton Common: your questions answered
Is Milton Common close to London?
About 44 miles from central London.
Is Milton Common too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Of course. Include suppliers in your numbers and we will plan for them.
Can you cater the whole day?
We can. We can do canapés, tapas, the wedding breakfast, evening food and desserts.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Is halal food available?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in its own pan.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters often go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are welcome. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
