Common questions in South Holmwood
Could we have live paella in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces frequently work.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can, if you tell us in advance. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we make a separate gluten-free pan.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Include children in your numbers.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Weighing up DIY against a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. We’re happy to give you a quote to compare.
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
