Questions from Sutton Scotney
Is Sutton Scotney close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Is Sutton Scotney too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
How many paellas should we have?
Typically two or three, so every guest has a choice. Tell us about your guests’ diets and we will suggest the mix.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Can you do sangria?
Sangria, yes. For other drinks, we can provide bar staff to serve what you buy.
Can the team help cook?
Ask us about it when you enquire, and we’ll discuss what’s possible at your venue.
Do you work in winter?
Yes, where the venue has a covered, ventilated space to cook. Book early for December.
Cook it yourself or book a caterer?
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
