Your questions about festival paella catering in Newington Butts
What’s the nearest station to Newington Butts for guests?
Elephant & Castle station, in Newington Butts itself.
Is parking a problem for events in Newington Butts?
London parking needs planning: let us know about permits or off-street space. We will plan unloading around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you handle a lunchtime rush?
It’s one of the quickest hot foods to serve, which suits busy periods.
Do you do vegan paella?
Yes, and they’re popular with everyone. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Tell us about any coeliac guests when you book so we take the right care.
What about pudding?
We do. Spanish desserts such as churros or crema catalana.
Do you cook inside?
Usually we cook outdoors or under a ventilated cover, because we use gas burners. We will check whether your venue has a suitable space.
Should I cook it myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
You can cook paella for a crowd yourself, but it takes practice. A big pan needs a burner that heats it evenly, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Our guide to cooking paella for a crowd explains how.
