Common questions in Sholden Meadows
Do you come out to small places like Sholden Meadows?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
Could we have live paella in Betteshanger Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can you send documents to our venue?
Let us know what’s required, and we will send what you need.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
It is ideal for that. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.
Can you cook at our office?
Courtyards and terraces often work, if the building allows it.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Tell us how many are coming.

DIY paella versus live catering
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
