Your questions about corporate paella catering in Horden

Can you cook in The Gill?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.

Is Horden close to London?

Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What documents can you provide?

Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we will provide it.

How much paella per person?

We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.

Do you do starters?

Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.

What happens if it rains?

We cook under cover, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.

Can you cater for children?

Of course. Children frequently love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.

For event organisers in Horden

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.

Organising a club, school or community event in Horden? Paella is quick to serve to a crowd and suits most diets. Give us the details and we will suggest a plan.

Planning for every diet

We cater for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal guests. To make it work smoothly:

  • Ask what the venue requires from caterers
  • Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
  • Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
  • Think about shade and seating

The space is left clean and tidy.

Spanish desserts or churros for a sweet finish.

What happens on the day

When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell generally draws people over. In Horden, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:15pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
  2. We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
  3. We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
  4. We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
  5. We clear our cooking area away and leave the space as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue allows live cooking
  • Ensure we can park close by to unload
  • Arrange a covered spot for wet weather

DIY paella versus live catering

Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.

Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. Ask us for a quote and compare.

  • Cooked live in giant pans at your event
  • Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options
  • Paella, tapas, canapés and desserts
  • Sangria, bar staff, crockery and waiting staff
