Common questions in Oving
How far is Oving from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Which station should guests use for Oving?
Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, about 3.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Can we try the food first?
Tell us you’d like a tasting when you enquire, and we will explain how it works.
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.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
DIY paella versus live catering
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
