Common questions in Bellfields
Do you cater in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you trade at school fairs around Bellfields?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers and ages, and we’ll plan a pan with them in mind.
Who clears up?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
How long do you need on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and we time it to your schedule.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll let you know if we are available.
Can you serve tapas as well?
Yes, it’s the classic pairing. Tapas first, paella to follow.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
Planning for every diet
Allergies and diets are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Feed crew and volunteers at set times
- Check how many portions traders can serve
- Make sure the line-up includes vegan and gluten-free options
- Check allergen info is on display
We arrive at the agreed time and set up our pitch, following your trader pack.
