Common questions in Chartridge
Which station should guests use for Chartridge?
The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Chartridge?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Often, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We will check with your facilities team.
Can you invoice the company?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Space, weather and the venue
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so the cooking area needs a little planning. Here’s what we look for:

- A safe distance from anything that could catch
- Access for unloading near the cooking spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Live paella or other catering?
Food vans can create long queues. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

The process
Service is quick: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. When service is finished, we pack down. For a Christmas party in Chartridge, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- Your team watches the paella cook.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the cooking spot clear of fences, hedges and branches
- Get the venue’s permission for cooking
- Share the running order, including any speeches

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Staff: cooks, waiting staff and bar staff
- The paellas you choose
- Guest numbers
- How long we are needed on site

Details that help
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and when you want to eat
- A picture of the cooking space, if it’s a garden or field
- What the venue already provides
