Don’t feel like cooking? Here’s the answer!

Know what it’s like to arrive at your holiday house after a hard week at work and then have to start cooking?  Well now you don’t have to! We’ve teamed up with a fantastic local deli who’ve come up with some delicious meals that can be ready for you when you arrive. We will need at least a week's notice but all you need to do is pop them in the oven. (And pop the cork on the wine they can provide too!)  Ring us with your order and we can arrange delivery.

Kelby and Rob are passionate about great ingredients so everything is fresh and locally sourced wherever possible. The shop has an interesting selection of foods from around the world as well as charcuterie and cheeses. Rob’s special area of interest is wine and he has a growing range of well-chosen, reasonably priced bottles to suit every occasion.

Paella - Cooked Onsite

£17.50 per person (min. 20 people)

This makes for a really fun occasion, lunch or evening. The paella takes about 2 hours to cook and the aromas are tantalising as the key ingredients – prawns, mussels, chicken – are fried in the pan with herbs and saffron before the rice and stock are added to complete the dish. And you can watch the whole thing come together with a glass in your hand (banner image above shows Kelby preparing Paella at one of barns).

The paella can be prepared anywhere you like as the gas and cooking pan can be set up in most (flat!) locations.

Traditional paella served with tomato and red onion salad, freshly baked baguette.
