Chart Sutton: your questions answered
How far is Chart Sutton from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station should guests use for Chart Sutton?
The closest is Bearsted station, roughly 3.6 miles away.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there’s a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Will there be enough food?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Can you provide dessert?
We do. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.

How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- Timings and hours
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- How many courses
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- The venue or postcode
- What the venue already provides
- Roughly how many adults and children
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
