Your questions about corporate paella catering in Paynes Green
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Paynes Green from London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you cook halal paella?
We can. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Do you cover Paynes Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Paynes Green is within our area and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you cook at our office?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will check with your facilities team.
Do you provide plates and cutlery?
Yes, if you need them. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
