What happens on the day
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That’s what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. Your guests will smell it before they see it. For a Christmas party in Holmethorpe, 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 send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.

Redhill station, about 0.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Holmethorpe close to London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How many different paellas?
Usually two or three, so every guest has a choice. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Can you cater for vegetarians and vegans?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.

Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.
Planning for every diet
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask facilities what documents they need from us
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
- Tell us how long the food break is
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
We arrive on time and follow your site rules.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work to it.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Holmethorpe? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Tell us about the event and we’ll suggest a menu.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you will still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. We take care of all of it.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
