Maplehurst: your questions answered
Which station should guests use for Maplehurst?
Christs Hospital station, about 3.8 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Maplehurst from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Do you cater for young children?
Of course. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you cook indoors?
Normally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
What do you need at the venue?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Is the paella cooked on site?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.

How it works
On the day, we set up the burners and pans and start cooking the sofrito and stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, so we time everything to your schedule. After-work summer parties in Maplehurst have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- Fast service, then we clear away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Name one person we can ask on the day

Diets, allergies and planning
Paella is one of the easiest dishes for mixed diets, because each paella is cooked in its own pan. A few tips:
- Think about shade and seating
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Share the timings for food
- Add a diet question to the sign-up form
If timings change on the day, tell us and we will adapt.
