Should I cook it myself?
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.

Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you do Christmas parties?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. Book early for December.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We will talk it through before the day.

How long does the paella take?
That depends on your menu and numbers. We agree the timings in advance.
What affects the price in Wadhurst
The same guest numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Crockery and cutlery, or disposables
- The paellas you choose
- How many staff you need
- How many courses
Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so your choice of paellas affects the total. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
