Questions from West Hendred
Do you cater in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like West Hendred?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
How many paellas should we have?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Do you cater at business parks?
Often, yes, if there is a suitable outdoor or well-ventilated space and the building allows it. We will confirm with facilities.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Let us know about any other food. Our guide to portions explains more.

Send us the venue’s requirements and we’ll respond.

Yes, we do. Halal paella is cooked with halal chicken and no pork or alcohol, in a separate pan.

We’ll be honest if a space won’t work, and help find another spot. The main points are:

- The venue’s permission for live cooking
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What corporate paella catering costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, parking and access
- Waiting and bar staff
- How many courses
- The length of service
Seafood and premium ingredients cost more than chicken or vegetable paellas, so your choice of paellas affects the total. We’ll suggest options to suit your budget.
