Moreton: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Moreton?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

Which station should guests use for Moreton?

Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, about 3.2 miles north-east of the centre.

Can you bring crockery?

We can. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.

Will you talk to our venue?

Yes. We’re happy to talk to your venue about access, timings and requirements.

Can you provide dessert?

Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.

Do you come to Moreton?

We do. We cook at events in Moreton and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

What if the weather’s bad?

We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.

Do you cater for young children?

Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised team. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up our cooking area, and cook and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Moreton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so an evening paella for evening guests is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Share your date, venue, numbers and plans for the day.
  2. We plan a menu with you, course by course, and confirm a quote.
  3. We fit our timings around your speeches, photos and venue.
  4. On the day, we set up, cook in front of your guests and serve each course.
  5. We pack down our cooking area, with staff staying as long as agreed.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan cover in case of rain
  • Get the venue’s permission for cooking
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
