Questions from Sindlesham
Could we have live paella in Maiden Erlegh Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and we will send any information they need.
Do you come out to small places like Sindlesham?
No, we cook in small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook halal paella?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and it’s cooked separately.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop us, as long as there is a ventilated cover. We’ll talk it through before the day.
Do you cater in Sindlesham?
Yes, we do. Sindlesham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do you have the documents we need?
Tell us what the event needs and we’ll send it with our application.
Do you cater for vegetarian guests?
Yes, and meat eaters frequently go back for seconds. They have their own pans, stock and spoons.
How much space do you need?
Level ground for the burners, pans and a table, outdoors or in a marquee or well-ventilated area, and the venue’s permission for live cooking.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers: where cooking is allowed, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will follow them.

Should I cook it myself?
Cooking paella for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s harder than it looks. Large pans need the right burners, and getting the rice right for dozens of people takes experience. Read how to cook paella for a crowd.
Some hosts like to cook themselves. The usual problems are a pan too big for the burner, too much rice and stirring once the rice is in. If you’d rather enjoy the party, let us cook.
