FAQs for Hale
Do you come out to small places like Hale?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook in Darland Banks?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in its own pan.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Give us accurate numbers for the best result.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
How many different paellas?
Two or three is usual: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We’ll suggest a split based on your guests.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Where we can cook in Hale

- Sign-off from facilities for live cooking
- The venue’s permission for live cooking

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and we will say what we think before you book.
