Questions from Ewell Minnis
Can you cook near the sea around Ewell Minnis?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Sea breezes cool the pan, so a windbreak, building or gazebo helps.
Do you come out to small places like Ewell Minnis?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
How do you work out quantities?
Pans are sized to your numbers and other courses. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces frequently work, subject to the building’s rules.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Find out what paperwork the venue needs
- Provide shade and seats outdoors
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Bowl food for standing events.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
