Questions from Cumnor
Is Cumnor too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Cumnor close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you do Christmas parties?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate 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.
How long does the paella take?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Let us know how long the food break is.
How we price corporate paella catering
Two events with the same number of guests can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of people
- Timings and hours
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
Larger events normally cost less per head, since the set-up is much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- Roughly how many adults and children
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and any dietary needs. We’ll send a clear, itemised quote and a suggested menu.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. We suggest:
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Share diet numbers and allergies in writing
- Have water and soft drinks available
We arrive at the agreed time and follow your site rules, including sign-in and parking.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Paella compared with other options
For catering that’s part of the event, live paella is a strong choice. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, plus any staff, crockery and travel. We quote for each event individually.
