Heath End questions
What’s the nearest station to Heath End for guests?
Aldershot station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Heath End?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is normally popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Should we have more than one paella?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
We can. We plan pans and serving points so service is fast.
Is the paella cooked on site?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
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.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. 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.
