Questions from Frogham
Is Frogham too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Frogham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you bring crockery?
We can. Let us know what you have, and we’ll quote for the rest.
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 need power?
Let us know what the pitch has and we will confirm our needs.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans, alongside the meat and seafood pans.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Typically we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, since the burners are gas. We’ll check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Can we add tapas or canapés?
Of course. Canapés with drinks or tapas for the tables, while the rice is cooking.

Why live cooking beats a buffet
Burger and hot dog stalls are familiar but similar. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. Premium seafood costs more than chicken or vegetables, so the menu you choose affects the price. We will suggest options to suit your budget.
