Common questions in Morton
Can you cook near the sea around Morton?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Can you cater a reception after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you offer halal options?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Will you talk to our venue?
Yes, it makes life easier. Put us in touch and we’ll agree the details.
Can you feed our photographer and band?
Yes, include them in your numbers. Let us know when they need feeding.

Live paella or other catering?

- Served hot, straight from the pan
- No hidden extras in your quote
