Plaish questions
Do you come out to small places like Plaish?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Can you cook near the sea around Plaish?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you do Christmas parties?
With the right covered space, yes. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. Each is cooked separately, with its own stock and utensils.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many and roughly how old, and we will plan for them.
Can the team help cook?
Teams frequently enjoy watching and asking questions. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. Our guide to portions explains more.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Think about numbers, diets and how much you want to enjoy the day. We are happy to give you a quote to compare.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
