Bullingstone: your questions answered
Is Bullingstone close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Bullingstone for guests?
The closest is Tunbridge Wells station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
Should we have more than one paella?
Normally two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
What paperwork do you have?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Corporate paella catering in Bullingstone, cooked live
Canapés, bowl food and desserts can be added, and we’ll work with your venue on access, timings and paperwork. We cook paella lunches, canapé tapas and vegan and vegetarian paella, and we are regularly asked to cater conference lunches and team days.
An away day near Bullingstone is a good fit for live paella: it needs no kitchen, just a level spot and access. You can add tapas, desserts, sangria, bar staff and waiting staff, so one booking can cover the whole menu.
What happens on the day
The paella is cooked in giant, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. After-work summer parties in Bullingstone have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange a covered spot for wet weather
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
