Cripp's Corner questions
Is Cripp's Corner close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Cripp's Corner too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from your guest numbers, timings and other courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Is it really cooked live?
Yes, always. We cook from scratch in large pans at your venue, where your guests can watch.
Do you cook inside?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes, always. A vegan paella pan sits alongside the meat and seafood pans.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send your requirements and we’ll include them with our application.
Should I cook it myself?
Hiring a pan and burner is one option, but you’ll still need to source ingredients, prep and cook for hours. A caterer handles all of that.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
