Shover's Green questions
Is Shover's Green close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and cooking, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
We take our equipment and leave the cooking area tidy. Ask us about table clearing if you need it.
Can you provide dessert?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote.
How much paella per person?
Quantities depend on numbers, timing and courses, with a sensible margin. Accurate numbers help.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there’s a ventilated cover. We will make a plan B with you.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what the event needs and we will send it with our application.
Can you cater for crew and volunteers?
Yes, at set times to suit your schedule. Send us numbers and times.
Live paella or other catering?
Burger stalls are common. A paella pan stands out in a food line-up. Compared with a plated meal, live paella is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- Served hot, straight from the pan
- Food that becomes part of the entertainment
- Sangria, plus bar staff for your own drinks
- Live cooking, not reheated food
