Fickleshole: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Fickleshole?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Could we have live paella in Addington Vale?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you cook at our office?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
How much space do you need?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes, always. Every paella is cooked from scratch on site, in front of your guests.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
