Questions from Harvel
Do you come out to small places like Harvel?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Harvel?
The closest is Sole Street station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Send us the venue’s requirements and we will respond.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you provide drinks?
We can make sangria, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.

Yes. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana, or you can serve your own cake.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
Live paella or other catering?
A barbecue cooks in batches and needs plenty of separate vegetarian food. Paella handles diets with separate pans. There is no one-size-fits-all price for live paella. A garden party lunch and a full wedding menu are very different jobs. Your quote spells it all out.

Other catering in Harvel
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big numbers, we plan pans and serving points to keep queues short, so guests are fed quickly. Let us know how long the food break is.
