FAQs for Norbiton
Can you cook in Canbury Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them, and we’ll provide our paperwork.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is normally elsewhere. Send us the reception address.
How many different paellas?
Two or three covers most guests. We’ll recommend a mix based on diets.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Yes. Large pans and fast service from the pan make it well suited to crowds.
Which paellas suit our guests?
It depends on your guests. Chicken and mixed paellas tend to go first, alongside seafood and vegetable or vegan pans.
Will there be enough food?
We size the pans for your numbers and the rest of the menu. Tell us what else is being served. See how much paella per person.
What is live paella catering?
We bring everything needed to cook on site, cook in front of your guests, and serve at the time you want.
Where do you cater?
We cover London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
You can hire equipment and do it yourself, but there is shopping, prep and hours of cooking. We take care of all of it.
If you do cook yourself, test the pan and burner together beforehand, have hot stock ready, and do not stir once the rice goes in. Keep a clear zone around the burner.
