Questions from Eastbourne
Can you cook at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could we have live paella in Princes Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is halal food available?
We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and we will cook a separate pan.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a flat spot away from anything flammable, with space to serve. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Courtyards and terraces often work, subject to the building’s rules.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
