FAQs for Ladwell
Is Ladwell close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Ladwell too small for live paella?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Send us the venue’s requirements.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas go out first, then the paella.
Do you do desserts?
Yes. Churros, crema catalana and tarta de Santiago are popular choices, or you can serve your own cake.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
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 at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run behind, we hold the paella at the right stage so it is still served fresh. For a Christmas party in Ladwell, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue, numbers, timings and diets.
- We confirm a menu and a quote, with any paperwork your venue needs.
- We arrange access and timings with your facilities team or venue.
- On the day we set up, cook live and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, our area is cleared and left clean.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
