Common questions in Badlesmere
How far is Badlesmere from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Badlesmere too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
How many different paellas?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What documents can you provide?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will send what you need.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Sandwich platters are easy but forgettable. Live paella gives staff something to talk about. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

- What the price includes, item by item
- Whether VAT is included

Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Think about shade and seating
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Tell us how long the food break is
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.
The process
Watching it cook is half the fun. Onion, garlic, peppers and tomato go in first, then the stock and saffron, then the rice, which cooks without stirring while your guests chat. December events in Badlesmere are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Tell us where to park and unload
- Leave space around the cooking area
Getting a price
