Sprig's Alley: your questions answered
Is Sprig's Alley close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we pay by invoice?
Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how we work.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children often love a simple chicken paella. Tell us how many are coming.
What happens if it rains?
A covered, ventilated spot keeps us cooking in the rain. We will talk it through before the day.
Do you do starters?
Yes. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, served while the paella cooks.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Can you serve a large team in a lunch break?
That is one of paella’s strengths. Tell us how long the break is and we’ll plan service around it.

What else we do in Sprig's Alley
DIY paella versus live catering
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
