Common questions in Minster
What’s the nearest station to Minster for guests?
The closest is Queenborough station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you cook in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What if the weather’s bad?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will make a plan B with you.
Can you bring crockery?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you provide drinks?
Sangria can be added, and provide bar staff to serve drinks you supply.
Do you cook it at the event?
Yes. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
What affects the price in Minster
Each event is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and unloading
- How many courses
- Whether you need crockery
- How many staff you need
Live paella pricing depends on the event. A simple paella lunch costs less than a wedding with canapés, three paellas and waiting staff. Your quote spells it all out.
