FAQs for Virginia Water
How far is Virginia Water from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Can you cook in Riverside Walk?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook under cover, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We will agree a wet-weather plan with you.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Do you cover Virginia Water?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, and Virginia Water is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Yes, it is the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Can you invoice the company?
Let us know your company’s process, and we’ll explain how we work.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. 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.
