FAQs for Brede
Is Brede close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Can you cook near the sea around Brede?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Do you work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you come to Brede?
Yes, we do. Brede is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so the timing is planned around your event. After-work summer parties in Brede 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 check the date and venue.

Getting ready for the day

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 will do the cooking.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
