Questions from Darby Green
How far is Darby Green from London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Darby Green?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, where your guests can watch.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you cater for young children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria, yes. We can also supply bar staff for your own drinks.
Planning for every diet
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Collect dietary needs when people sign up
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Plan shade and seating for outdoor events
- Get facilities approval early
We keep the cooking area tidy and contained, and clear it away afterwards.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts
- Options for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests, each in its own pan
- Drinks service on request
- Catering across Hampshire, including Darby Green
