Sutton Abinger questions
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Sutton Abinger from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there’s a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We’ll confirm with facilities.
Is the paella gluten-free?
A gluten-free pan is no problem. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we can plan it carefully.
How quickly can you serve a big group?
Yes. Paella is served straight from the pan, and we plan pans and serving points around your timings.
What if the weather’s bad?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Can you do a team-building activity?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll see what works.

What else we do in Sutton Abinger
Should I cook it myself?
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, keep the stock hot, and leave the rice alone once it is in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
