Your questions about festival paella catering in Martyr's Green
Is Martyr's Green close to London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Can you cook in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we’ll send any information they need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, like a gazebo or open-sided marquee. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Do you come to Martyr's Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Martyr's Green and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What space do you need to cook?
A level space for the pans, burners and a serving table, in the open air or a ventilated covered area, plus the venue’s agreement to cooking.
Where do you cater?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you do vegan paella?
Of course. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.
Can you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella is typically popular with children. Include children in your numbers.
Live paella or other catering?
For crew catering, sandwiches are easy but uninspiring. A hot meal keeps crew happy. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the cooking set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
