Questions from Maidenbower
How far is Maidenbower from London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could we have live paella in Tilgate Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Do you take everything away?
We clear our cooking area away when service is finished. Clearing guests’ plates and tables can be added with waiting staff.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you serve drinks?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Planning for every diet
Most events have a mix of diets. To cater well for them:
- Make sure there are plenty of soft drinks
- Let us know how long people have to eat
- Check the building or venue allows live cooking
- Send us totals for each diet and any serious allergies
If timings change on the day, tell us and we’ll adapt.
