Questions from Cheriton
Is Cheriton close to London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Could we have live paella in Lower Leas Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance so the paella is ready when you want it.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Other catering in Cheriton
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
Planning the cooking area
We will agree the cooking spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Level ground for the pans and burners
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- A safe distance from anything that could catch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Paella lunches
- Bowl food
- Drinks service
- Desserts
- Canapé tapas
For planners, venues and organisers
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, an office manager or an event organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

How it works
We work to your timings. If speeches run late or the photos take longer, we hold the paella at the right stage so it’s still served fresh. After-work summer parties in Cheriton have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- We check the date and venue.
- You pick the menu.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Have water and soft drinks available
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
Staff can serve canapés or bowl food during a reception, so guests can network while they eat.
Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.
Why live cooking beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and staff. Paella needs a level, ventilated spot and the venue’s permission. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.

What affects the price in Cheriton
These are the factors that matter most:
- Starters, canapés and desserts
- Plates, cutlery and glassware
- Distance and access to the venue
