Speenhamland questions
Can you cook in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Is Speenhamland close to London?
About 53 miles from central London.
Can you cook indoors?
Generally we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
What happens if it rains?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We’ll agree a wet-weather plan with you.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. See how much paella per person.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Let us know your halal numbers, and we’ll cook a separate pan.
What corporate paella catering costs
Each event is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Distance and access to the venue
- How many guests are eating
- Whether you need crockery
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
