- Parking close enough to carry equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Questions from Catisfield
Can you cook near the sea around Catisfield?
Yes, with a sheltered cooking spot. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Is Catisfield close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Catisfield.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.

- Provide shade and seats outdoors

Why live cooking beats a buffet
If you want catering that becomes part of the event, live paella stands out. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
