If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.

FAQs for Alciston
How far is Alciston from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Alciston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan for them.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
The process
Serving is fast: the paella goes straight from the pan to the plate, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Alciston, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
