Beckley: your questions answered
Can you cook in Katie and George Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them, and we will provide our paperwork.
Is Beckley too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you provide dessert?
We can add a dessert. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
When do you arrive?
It depends on the menu and numbers. We’ll agree arrival, cooking and serving times with you.
Where do you cater?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Beckley.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Will there be long queues?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
Catering for every guest
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Check allergen info is on display
- Check every diet is covered by the line-up
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Give traders a single information pack
We cook in full view of visitors, and serve from the pan throughout the event.

Planners, venues and businesses
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep everyone informed on the day.
For larger events, we plan the number of pans and serving points around your timings, so everyone eats promptly. Tell us how long you have for food.
Paella compared with other options
Food that sits in a hot cabinet isn’t much to look at. Paella cooking in full view sells itself. Comparing caterers? Look at what each quote includes: staff, crockery, bread and salads, travel and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
