FAQs for Bay View

How far is Bay View from London?

About 43 miles from central London.

Is Bay View too small for live paella?

No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.

What about pudding?

Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.

Can you cook at our office?

Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.

Can you supply plates?

Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.

Can you cater a winter event?

We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.

Can you serve drinks?

We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.

The process

When the rice goes in, it is left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. Your guests will smell it before they see it. December events in Bay View are in the dark from about 3:50pm, so plan lighting where we cook. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. Your team watches the paella cook.
  5. Fast service, then we clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time
  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Catering for every guest

Nearly every event has some special diets. To cater well for them:

  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Ask staff about diets in advance
  • Check the building or venue allows live cooking
  • Share diet numbers and allergies in writing

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?

Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.

For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.

Choosing a paella caterer

Prices and what affects them

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Plates, cutlery and glassware
  • How many courses
  • The length of service
  • Distance and access to the venue

Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

What we need to know

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • Where the event is
  • A picture of the space, if you can
  • Which courses you have in mind
  • Your date and when you want to eat

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the venue, the timings, the courses you’d like and any extras. To send your details, use our quote form.

Planning the cooking area

Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. These are the things we check:

  • A safe distance from anything that could catch
  • Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
  • Facilities approval and any site rules

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
