Chale Green: your questions answered
Can you cook near the sea around Chale Green?
Yes, as long as we can shelter from the wind. Wind is the main issue on the coast, so we plan shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Chale Green?
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, the Isle of Wight included. See all areas.
What space do you need to cook?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Will you have a stall at our event?
Tell us about the event, dates and pitch, and we’ll check availability.

Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

DIY paella versus live catering
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.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
