Your questions about festival paella catering in Pratt's Bottom
Can you run a stall at a school fair in Pratt's Bottom?
Yes, if the school is happy for us to cook on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you cook in Hewitt's Chalk Bank?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.

What about pudding?
We can add a dessert. Let us know if you’d like one when you ask for a quote.

Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Can you supply plates?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
How long does the paella take?
We get there in good time to set up. Once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, timed around your event.

Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For repeat events, such as annual staff parties or seasonal fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
