Questions from Hamsey Green
Can you cook in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Upper Warlingham station, about 1 mile south-west of the centre.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Can staff get involved?
Mention it in your enquiry, and we will see what works.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
How much paella per person?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we adjust the cooking so it’s still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Hamsey Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We check the date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We provide the paperwork.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the timings for the day
- Check the venue allows live cooking
- Give us a contact for the day
