No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station should guests use for Shopwyke?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you feed everyone quickly?
That’s one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we will plan service around it.

Not a lot: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a picture.
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.
Is it really cooked live?
It is. We bring the pans, burners and fresh ingredients and cook on the day, then serve straight from the pan.
Do you cook at offices in central London?
Frequently, if the site has a suitable space and allows cooking. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
How the day works
A typical event goes like this: we arrive, set up and start cooking, the rice cooks in front of your guests, and we serve straight from the pan at the agreed time. In Shopwyke, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, 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.
- We agree access, parking and set-up times with you or the venue.
- We cook live on the day and serve on schedule.
