Common questions in Beare Green
We’re having a ceremony at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater afterwards?
Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Live cooking usually happens at the reception venue, not the church. Tell us where the reception will be.
Can you cook at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you supply plates?
If you need them, yes. Crockery, cutlery and napkins, or good-quality disposables are available.
Do you cater for children?
Yes. A simple chicken paella goes down well with children. Tell us how many children are coming.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends. Even if it’s short notice, it is worth asking.
How much is live paella catering?
Every event is quoted individually, so you only pay for what you need. Give us your date, numbers and menu ideas for a clear quote.
Can you supply crockery?
If you need them. Crockery or disposables are available.
Do you offer halal options?
Yes, on request. Tell us how many guests need halal food, and we will cook a separate pan.
Should I cook it myself?
Doing it yourself saves money, but the host ends up stuck at the stove. Booking us means you get the show without the stress.
Plenty of people try cooking paella for their own party. Common mistakes are mismatched pans and burners, overfilling and stirring. If you’d rather be with your guests, we’ll do the cooking.
Beare Green parties: what to know
