Your questions about corporate paella catering in Rowfant
Is Rowfant close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we take the right care.
Can you cater for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we will plan a pan with them in mind.
Can staff get involved?
Many teams enjoy watching and learning how paella is made. Talk to us about what you have in mind.
What paperwork do you have?
Tell us what your venue or facilities team needs, and we’ll send what you need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
DIY paella versus live catering
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Catering for every guest
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Include soft drinks and water as well as alcohol
- Confirm live cooking with facilities
- Ask staff about diets in advance
- Tell us how long the food break is
We leave the space as we found it.
Canapés for drinks receptions.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear, itemised quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of paellas
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- Parking and unloading
- How many guests are eating
Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- What the venue already provides
- Your date and when you want to eat
- The address or venue name
- Diets and allergies you know about
