FAQs for Halling
Is Halling close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in Holborough Marshes?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Who clears up?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Do you work in winter?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Medway included. See all areas.
What documents can you provide?
Ask facilities for their list and pass it on and we’ll respond.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain booking and payment when you enquire.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
