Dunbridge: your questions answered

Which station should guests use for Dunbridge?

Dunbridge has its own station: Mottisfont & Dunbridge station.

How far is Dunbridge from London?

Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.

How quickly can you serve a big group?

Yes. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.

Catering for every guest

Few dishes handle mixed diets as well as paella, because every paella has its own pan. A few tips:

  • Confirm live cooking with facilities
  • Give us diet totals and allergy details
  • Let us know how long people have to eat
  • Provide shade and seats outdoors

Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls.

Sangria and bar staff for drinks you provide.

How it works

Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is served at its best. After-work summer parties in Dunbridge have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. We start with your date, venue, headcount, timings and diets.
  2. You get a menu, a quote and any documents the venue asks for.
  3. Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
  4. On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
  5. We pack down and leave the space tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange parking near the cooking spot
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Send us final numbers and dietary needs in good time

What corporate paella catering costs

Live paella pricing is straightforward once we know the basics:

  • Parking and unloading
  • Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
  • How many guests are eating
  • Starters, canapés and desserts

Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

What we need to know

For a quote, it helps to have:

  • A photo of the space, if you can
  • The venue or postcode
  • The date and time of the event
  • Approximate guest numbers, including children

The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your work event, and we will suggest paellas and extras to suit.
