Common questions in Saunderton
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Live cooking typically happens at the reception venue, not the church. Send us the reception address.
Do you come out to small places like Saunderton?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Can you do sangria?
Yes, sangria. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Will there be enough food?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a little extra built in. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. Golden-hour photos in Saunderton at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the evening paella around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and ideas.
- We build the menu course by course and send a quote.
- We agree timings with you and your venue, including speeches and photos.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve each course as planned.
- Afterwards we clear our area; any staff you’ve booked stay as planned.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
