Questions from Sheerwater
Is Sheerwater close to London?
About 22 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could we have live paella in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we’ll suggest the mix.
Do you do desserts?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes. We arrive with everything we need and cook on the day, serving it hot from the pan.
How long does the paella take?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Share the timings and we will plan for them.
Where we can cook in Sheerwater
We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Confirmation that open cooking is allowed
- Outdoor space or a ventilated gazebo
- Flat, firm ground for the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan & vegetarian pans
- Canapé tapas
- Desserts
- Bowl food
- Paella lunches
- Drinks service
Step by step
The paella is cooked in huge, shallow pans over gas burners. We need a level, ventilated spot, and we agree where that is before the day. In Sheerwater, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.
- You tell us the date, venue, numbers, timings and dietary needs.
- We send a menu, a price and the paperwork for your venue.
- Access, parking and set-up are agreed with you or facilities.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
- We pack down and leave the space tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level spot for the cooking area
- Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
- Ensure we can park close by to unload
