Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Pembles Cross?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Yes. Vegetarian and vegan paellas are cooked in separate pans.

Can you supply plates?
Yes, on request. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Can you do gluten-free paella?
We can cook a gluten-free paella in its own pan. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance so we can plan it carefully.
Can the paella be cooked in a hall?
Mostly outside or under an open cover, because we use gas burners. 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, served while the paella cooks.
Planning the cooking area
Before the day, we will agree where we cook. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- The event’s site rules and timings
- A pitch away from tents and structures
- Your arrangements for power, water and waste
Not sure about your space? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Events in public spaces, like parks, generally need permission. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts like to cook themselves. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
Cooking it yourself? Test your pan and burner first, have hot stock ready, and leave the rice alone once it is in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
