Red Hill: your questions answered
Is Red Hill too small for live paella?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Red Hill close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in the rain?
We need a covered spot, such as a gazebo, marquee or open-sided barn with good ventilation. We plan for rain with you in advance.
Is the paella gluten-free?
Yes, on request. Rice is naturally gluten-free, but stock and some ingredients may not be, so we cook a gluten-free paella separately.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Can you bring crockery?
Yes, if you need them. Tell us what your venue provides and we’ll include the rest in the quote.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
We can. Crew, volunteer and VIP catering is available, with or without a public stall.
What do you need at the pitch?
Tell us what’s available at the pitch and we’ll confirm what we need.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Not sure whether to cook yourself or book a caterer? Consider your numbers, your guests’ diets and your own time. Ask us for a quote and compare.
