Your questions about corporate paella catering in Cooper's Green

Could we have live paella in Hempstead Meadow?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Do you cover Cooper's Green?

Yes, we do. Cooper's Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Is the paella gluten-free?

We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.

Do you offer halal options?

Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.

Do you cater for vegetarian guests?

Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.

Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?

It is ideal for that. Share the timings and we’ll plan for them.

Do you take everything away?

Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.

Organising for someone else?

Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.

Hosting a party at home? Send a photo of the space and tell us about parking, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.

What affects the price in Cooper's Green

Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How many guests are eating
  • The paellas you choose
  • Whether you need crockery
  • How many courses

Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We will send you a quote.

  • A picture of where we’d cook
  • Where the event is
  • Whether the venue has crockery or staff
