Bishopsgate: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How far is Bishopsgate from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we will discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
How long do you need on site?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you so the paella is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
We cater across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, in front of your guests.
Is halal food available?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
