Knightwood: your questions answered
How far is Knightwood from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Knightwood?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date, pitch and expected numbers.
Is there a vegan option?
Yes. Vegan paella is cooked in its own pan.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Tell us numbers and timings.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We’ll make a plan B with you.
Who clears up?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you cook indoors?
Only in a suitable, well-ventilated area with the venue’s permission. Courtyards, doorways and terraces often work.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes. We cook vegetarian and vegan paellas in their own pans.
Should I cook it myself?
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, keep the stock hot, and don’t stir once the rice goes in. And keep children and pets well away from the burner.
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and handles separate pans for each diet.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a festival organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
