Questions from Shatterling
Is Shatterling close to London?
About 59 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station should guests use for Shatterling?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 3 miles away.
What do you need at the venue?
Less than you might think: a level spot clear of fences, hedges and branches, with room for a serving table. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
Should we have more than one paella?
Two or three is usual: a meat or mixed paella, a seafood paella and a vegetable or vegan one. We’ll help you decide the split.
Do you cook it at the event?
It is. We arrive with everything we need and cook it there and then, then serve straight from the pan.
Is there a vegan option?
Absolutely. The vegan pan is cooked separately.

We quote for each event, based on what you actually want. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.

DIY paella versus live catering
For a small group, cooking yourself can work well. For big numbers or lots of diets, a caterer makes life easier, and handles separate pans for each diet.
