Questions from Horsmonden
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Horsmonden?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How many paellas should we have?
Most events have two or three: meat or mixed, seafood, and vegetable or vegan. We will help you decide the split.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Horsmonden.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we will include the rest in the quote.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes. We use halal chicken and leave out pork and alcohol, in a separate pan.
Do you cater in Horsmonden?
We do. Horsmonden is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
What we need at the venue
We will be honest if a space won’t work. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to park and unload
- Agreement from the venue or landowner to cook on site
- Space well away from trees, fences and gazebo walls
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

Should I cook it myself?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. 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.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, every diet is easy. Our advice:
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Give us diet totals and allergy details
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
Staff can circulate with canapés or bowls, so guests can network while they eat.
Canapé tapas for receptions and launches.
What corporate paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many staff you need
- Extra courses such as canapés, tapas and dessert
- The paellas you choose
- How many guests are eating
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
