What’s the nearest station to Sutton Wick for guests?
The closest is Appleford station, roughly 2.9 miles away.

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

Any part of the day, or all of it, from canapés to evening food.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Live paella or other catering?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many guests quickly. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

How the day works

- You choose canapés, tapas, paellas and desserts.
- We confirm the plan with your coordinator.
- The pans cook while guests enjoy the drinks.
