How the day works
When we arrive, we set up our cooking area, light the burners and start the sofrito. The rice goes in about 20 minutes before serving, so we time everything to your schedule. For a Christmas party in Mountfield, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. A summer party has daylight until about 9:15pm.

Common questions in Mountfield
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Mountfield close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much space do you need?
Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you cater at business parks?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll check with your facilities team.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables can be added to your booking.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. Hot paella in winter is popular.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
