FAQs for Eton
Do you trade at school fairs around Eton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Eton for guests?
Windsor & Eton Riverside station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
How quickly can you serve?
Big batches and service from the pan keep things moving.
What areas do you cover?
We cater across London and the South East, including Windsor and Maidenhead. Find your area.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapé tapas with the drinks, or table tapas to share, while the rice is cooking.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
How many different paellas?
Most events have two or three: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We will help you decide the split.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Proper crockery or quality disposables are available.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right at scale is tricky. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
