FAQs for Palmers Green
Which station should guests use for Palmers Green?
Palmers Green has its own station: Palmers Green station.
Can you cater a reception after a service at Palmers Green United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a nearby garden, marquee or hall where we can cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is typically elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.
Do you come to Palmers Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Palmers Green and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you cook inside?
Indoors only where ventilation and the venue allow it. Most events have us cooking outside or in a doorway or courtyard.
Which paella is most popular?
That depends on who’s coming. Chicken and mixed paellas tend to go first, alongside seafood and vegetable or vegan pans.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it’s worth asking.
What about pudding?
Yes, Spanish desserts can be added. Tell us what you have in mind in your enquiry.
Do you clear up afterwards?
Our cooking area is packed away and left clean. Table clearing is available with waiting staff.
Planning for every diet
We take diets and allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask for labels on each pan
- Ask about diets and allergies on your invitation or RSVP
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan a meat, a seafood and a vegetable or vegan pan
You shouldn’t have to worry about the food on the day. We set up, cook and serve, and stay in touch with your venue about timings.
Need plates or staff? We can provide them.
The menu, dish by dish
Mixed paella
Mixed paella brings meat and seafood together, and it is often the first pan to empty.
Seafood paella
The secret is a well-made seafood stock. Shellfish goes in towards the end so it stays tender.
The process
When the rice goes in, it’s left alone. That is what gives paella its separate grains and crispy base. The smell typically draws people over. Around midsummer it stays light in Palmers Green until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting at the cooking spot.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and any dietary needs.
- We put together a menu and a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, set up and start the stock.
- The rice cooks in full view, while tapas or canapés go round.
- We serve it hot from the pan and clear our area when service ends.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can ask on the day
- Make sure the spot is clear of anything flammable
- Plan cover in case of rain
