Branbridges: your questions answered
Is Branbridges close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Branbridges for guests?
Beltring station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Is halal food available?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you cater for children?
Children are welcome. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Is live paella right for your work event?
Barbecues cook in batches and struggle with diets. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

How the day works
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s how the grains cook evenly and the toasted base, the socarrat, forms. The smell usually draws people over. After-work summer parties in Branbridges have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
