East Lockinge: your questions answered
Is East Lockinge close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like East Lockinge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do desserts?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
We can. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and we can staff a bar with your drinks.
Can you supply plates?
We can. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook it there and then, serving it hot from the pan.
Do you cater for coeliacs?
Yes, on request. The rice is gluten-free, but stocks and chorizo can contain gluten, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What corporate paella catering costs

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Food trucks serve one order at a time, which slows a big team down. Paella pans serve many people quickly. Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
