Salford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Salford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Salford?
The closest is Kingham station, roughly 3.9 miles away.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you work in winter?
We can, with a suitable covered cooking area. A steaming pan on a cold evening goes down well.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on access and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Live paella or other catering?
Buffets can leave food sitting out. Paella goes straight from pan to plate. Cost depends on guest numbers, the menu and the courses, along with staff, extras and travel. We quote for each event individually.

- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Paella cooked from scratch on site
- Add tapas, canapés and Spanish desserts

What happens on the day
Serving is fast: we serve straight from the pan, so large groups are fed quickly. Afterwards we clear our cooking area away. For a Christmas party in Salford, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving areas need good lighting. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
- First, we check date and venue.
- You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
- We send any documents your venue needs.
- The paella cooks as your team gathers.
- It is served quickly, then we pack down.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm spot for us to cook
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Ensure the spot is clear of anything flammable

Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
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.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it’s in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
