Bredgar: your questions answered
Could we have live paella in Cromers Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you come out to small places like Bredgar?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can you cook indoors?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. Some venues have suitable spaces; we’ll check with you and the venue.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
What affects the price in Bredgar
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Whether you need crockery
- Waiting and bar staff
- The number of people
- Parking and unloading
Extras such as tapas, desserts, sangria, staff and crockery are priced separately, so you only pay for what you want.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Is live paella right for your work event?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs a lot of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
