Common questions in Widmore
Could we have live paella in Jubilee Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Which station should guests use for Widmore?
Bickley station, in Widmore itself.
How long do you need on site?
We arrive well before serving to set up and start the stock. The rice itself takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down our cooking area after service. Waiting staff can clear tables if you book them.
Can you cater a winter event?
Yes, if there is a covered, ventilated spot. December dates go fast.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.

We can. Let us know your halal numbers, and it’s cooked separately.
Do you come to Widmore?

Paella compared with other options
Buffet food sits out. Paella is served hot as soon as it is ready. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.

Dishes our guests love
Paella lunches
Two or three paellas served from the pan, quick to serve to a big team.
Bowl food
Paella in bowls for standing receptions and networking events.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but there’s shopping, prep and hours of cooking. A caterer handles all of that.
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is harder than it looks. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
