Questions from Dawesgreen
Is Dawesgreen too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we will quote for the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Will there be enough food?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cater a winter event?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Before you choose a spot
Live paella is cooked over gas burners in large pans, so we need a suitable spot. Here’s what we look for:
- Open air or a well-ventilated covered spot
- Approval from your facilities team or building manager
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We will provide any information the landowner or council asks for.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
