FAQs for Burntcommon
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Burntcommon close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Tell us what you’d like.
What space do you need to cook?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you serve drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
